Once upon a time, in a little village, there lived a good cat named Whiskers and a smart rat named Squeaky. Whiskers had soft white fur and green eyes. Squeaky had brown fur and a long tail.

Whiskers and Squeaky were good friends, always playing and exploring together. One day, while playing near the river, they found a shiny gold coin. Whiskers and Squeaky both wanted to keep it, but they knew they should do the right thing.

They decided to go to the wise owl, Oliver, for advice. Oliver told them that honesty was important, and they should find the owner of the gold coin. Whiskers and Squeaky followed Oliver's wise words.

They went around the village asking everyone if they had lost a gold coin. Finally, they found a poor old man who had lost the coin. He was so happy when Whiskers and Squeaky returned it to him.

The old man was thankful to the cat and the rat. As a reward, he gave Whiskers and Squeaky a basket full of delicious treats. Whiskers and Squeaky knew that their honesty had paid off, and they would always do the right thing.

From that day on, Whiskers and Squeaky were known as the honest friends of the village. They always helped others and never kept anything that didn't belong to them. Their friendship grew stronger, and they lived happily ever after.
