00:00C'était un jour où Henry n'avait rien à faire, et Henry s'éloignait en regardant des choses, comme des sacs de verre et des boîtes de lettres, et pendant qu'il regardait, il notait quelque chose qu'il n'avait pas vu auparavant.
00:29It was a weighing machine that speaks your weight.
00:32He got on, put a penny in the machine and waited.
00:35He went round and the machine said,
00:37You weigh 35 pounds, which is much too heavy for a small cat. I suggest you diet and take some exercise.
00:55Oh, thank you, said Henry's cat.
00:58You're welcome, said the weighing machine.
01:01He was quite taken aback by this advice.
01:03The thought of dieting and exercise made him feel quite weak.
01:08He'd need to have a snack and some sleep just to face the thought.
01:12So he went home to think about it.
01:14Dieting was not a problem.
01:16He could do that between meals to start, and during meals he could only overeat a little instead of a lot.
01:24But exercise, well, that was quite a different matter.
01:28Football was too muddy by far.
01:33Golf was not quite right for him.
01:37And cats are never very keen on swimming at the best of times.
01:42He couldn't think what a rather small and not very strong cat could do.
01:47Then he had a good idea.
01:50Just right for those who were small and not very strong.
01:54He'd seen it on a TV film.
01:57It was Kung Fu.
02:00It was good for chopping wood, knocking down walls, and all sorts of household chores.
02:07Oh, that's it, thought Henry's cat.
02:10All I need now is some wood and some walls to practice on, and I'll soon be slim and fit again.
02:16And he went out to get some practice.
02:19He soon saw the perfect thing.
02:21A brick wall doing nothing, with some wood leaning against it.
02:25Oh, just right, thought Henry's cat.
02:28I'll just give it a little kick to get warmed up.
02:31Much to his surprise, the whole wall fell down.
02:35Oh dear, perhaps I don't know my own strength, he thought,
02:40and was still thinking about it when a very angry farmer jars arrived, shouting,
02:46It's Henry's cat again.
02:48Knocking down my cow shed before it's built, are you?
02:52I'll see you in jail for this, my lad.
02:55And sure enough, he did.
02:59For hooliganism, disturbing the peace, upsetting cows, and acting in a way unbefitting for a small cat,
03:07I sentence you to one week's hard labor with just bread and water.
03:16Well, when he came out of prison, he was a sorrowful but slimmer and fitter cat.
03:22He walked home, and on his way, he passed the weighing machine.
03:25He stopped, looked around to see no one was about, and then gave the machine a mighty kung fu kick.
03:36He felt satisfied, and thought to himself,
03:39Oh, that's the right place for karate chops, and this is the right place for pork chops.
03:47And he rubbed his tummy in anticipation of the big meal he'd have as soon as he got home,
03:52and he ran there as fast as he could.
