Long ago, the birds and the beasts, because of a little dispute, broke out into war. And, the two sides were at a standstill, and each side was at odds with the other.

On one occasion, the two sides fought, and the birds prevailed. The bats suddenly appeared in the birds' fortress. "Congratulations, gentlemen! What a hero to defeat those rough walkers! I have wings and can fly, so I'm a companion of the birds! Please, everyone!"

At this point, the birds were in great need of new companions to bolster their strength. So the bats were very welcome.

But the bat was a coward, and waited until the war began, then secreted itself and hid to watch the battle. Later, when the beasts defeated the birds, the beasts sang loudly in victory. The bats, however, suddenly appeared again in the camp of the walking beasts. "Congratulations, everyone! Defeat the birds! It is truly marvelous! I'm a rat of the same kind as the walking beasts! To all of you!"

The beasts of prey were happy to include the bats in their group of companions.

So, whenever the walkers won, the bats joined the walkers. Whenever the birds won, they became the birds' companions.

At last the war ended, and the beasts and birds made peace, both knowing the behavior of the bats. When the bat reappeared in the world of the birds, the birds said to him, very nonchalantly, "You're not a bird!"

Chased out by the birds, the bat had to go to the world of the beasts, who in turn said, "You're not a beast!"

and chased the bat away.

In the end, the bats could only fly in the dark, secretly.
