1. The cat was very good at catching rats and mice. He played so many cunning tricks on them. He never came home without a rat or a mouse. He could hide in the wheat, or pretend to be dead.
2. There was no need for the cat speaking to somebody before. But now the youngest son got him and started thinking what to do with the cat. The man spoke loudly and the cat heard that he was upset and thought about eating him and making a hat out of cat's fur. So, to avoid death, to prove that he is not useless and to help his new master the cat began talking.
