(mini flash story)

Cat and dog attended a comedy show.

The cat, sophisticated and aloof, smirked at slapstick antics.

The dog, wagging its tail furiously, belly-laughed at everything.

The comedian asked, “What’s the secret of happiness?”

The cat deadpanned, “Ignoring the dog.”

The dog barked, “Chasing your tail!” The audience howled, but the cat remained unimpressed.
