The document answers questions about a kitten playing with fallen leaves on a bright autumn morning. The kitten pounces on the leaves, stretching, crouching and darting in an attempt to catch them, leaping like a tiger capturing its prey. Its playful actions attract the attention of thousands of observers, though the kitten remains focused on its game, unconcerned with spectators, much like a skilled Indian conjurer performing feats of art for an audience.
