Two fat mice had a competition to see which one could amass the most cheese. They each had a box to put their cheese in by stealing it from their human cat's-paws. One had a blue box and the other red. Both were sneaky and evil. One mouse broke the rules much more than the other by cutting a deal with the house cat to let it steal as much as it wanted without resistance. Not only that, this sly rodent installed a secret door in the red box of its opponent by which it could steal cheese directly from the other. I guess all is fair in lovemaking and cheese. Right? But then, when the cheating rodent with the blue box having the most cheese boastingly declared that this cheese competition was the most honest in mouse history - that takes the cake.
