Once Lola cat visited a shop and asked the shopkeeper for
some grapes. The shopkeeper said he only sold oranges and didn’t have any
grapes. She walked away only to return to the shop again the next day. This
time she again asked him for grapes. The shopkeeper felt puzzled. He repeated
that he didn’t have any grapes and he sold only oranges. Lola walked away but
reappeared at the shop the next day. This kept on going for several days.
Finally, the shopkeeper took Lola to a grapes shop and bought her a box of
grapes. As he extended the box towards her, she squirmed her nose and said, she
would prefer oranges instead. The shopkeeper clenched his head in frustration
at the malcontent cat. Malcontent refers to someone who is not satisfied with
the way things are, and who complains a lot and is always unreasonable and
difficult to deal with.
