Raj had a small dog named Buddy. Every morning, he filled Buddy's food bowl. Lately, the food disappeared very fast.
Raj thought Buddy was just hungry. He gave him a little more food. But the bowl was empty every time.
This puzzled Raj more and more. Buddy did not look hungrier than usual. Something strange was clearly happening.
One morning, Raj decided to watch closely. He sat quietly near the kitchen window. He waited to see what happened.
Minutes passed, and nothing seemed unusual. Buddy slept lazily on the floor. Then Raj heard a soft sound.
A small orange cat jumped through the window. It walked straight to Buddy's bowl. It ate the food quickly and left.
Raj could not believe his eyes. Buddy was not even hungry at all! A cat from the street stole his food.
Raj checked the window and found a small gap. He closed it tightly this time. He started feeding Buddy in another room.
Raj laughed and shook his head. "No more free food," he said to the cat. Buddy wagged his tail happily.
