Bernie the cat was a curious feline, always wandering around the neighborhood. However, one day he strayed too far and found himself in an unfamiliar area. The houses were tall and looming, and the streets were dark and inimical. Bernie felt uneasy and decided to turn back. As he was walking, Bernie spotted a mouse scurrying across the sidewalk. He couldn't resist the temptation and pounced on it. But the mouse was quick and inimical, and managed to escape Bernie's grasp. Determined to catch the mouse, Bernie continued his pursuit. He followed the mouse down an alleyway, but as he turned the corner, he found himself face to face with a group of inimical cats. They hissed and snarled at him, warning him to leave their territory. Bernie realized his mistake and quickly retreated, feeling lucky to have escaped unharmed. From then on, he made sure to stay within his own friendly neighborhood, knowing that venturing into inimical areas could lead to danger.
