Une histoire de naissance où une chatte tente en vain de séduire et dévorer un coq qui est le Bodhisatta déguisé, racontée à propos d’un moine tenté par une femme.

The story of a cat who tried to deceive a cock — with the idea of eating him — by offering to become his wife. Her efforts failed. The cock was the Bodhisatta.
