In a small town by the sea, Tom and Jerry squabble.

“I rule here,” claimed Tom.

“Not true,” Jerry countered.

A truck full of cheese rolled by.

They saw an opportunity.

“Whoever snags cheese is king,” Jerry said.

They leaped.

Tom landed hard, missing.

Jerry grabbed a wheel, which then escaped him.

His chase through town amused everyone but got him nothing.

When he came back, a dog was munching their prize.

“So, boss?” the dog teased.

Both cats sighed. “Truce?” offered Tom.

Jerry nodded, “Truce.”

They gave up on cheese heists, leaving that to dogs.

THE END.
