The Heroic Story of a Cat

It was in the middle of the XX century. A stray cat lived at one of the car plants. One day in spring it took a walk with a cat and was now waiting for its offspring. When the time came, the cat climbed into one of the crates with car parts and calved there. This crate was destined for shipment. In the morning, unsuspecting workers crammed the crate and delivered it to the steamship.

Twenty-five days later the box was delivered to its destination. When it was opened, a gaunt cat, with only skin and bones left, staggered from side to side, emerged from the box. Three healthy kittens were floundering along, looking for their mother with their eyes.
