Overcoming Temptation - J P Vaswani

There is an amusing little story told us, concerning a young woman who trained her cat to hold a candlestick in his paws while she ate dinner.  This the cat did, night after night; and when the woman felt satisfied with the cat's performance, she invited her friends to dinner, so that they could see what she had trained her cat to do.

The can jumped upon the table, got hold the candlestick, and sat there quietly.  One of the friends spread some food on the floor, thinking that the cat would be tempted by it, but was surprised to find that the cat sat motionless, holding the candlestick in its paws.
