Sinclair Lewis - "The Cat of the Stars":
The Cat of the Stars is a fascinating short story about the far-reaching consequences of seemingly insignificant actions. It all starts when young Willis Stodeport pats a kitten named Adolphus Josephus Mudface. This small act sets off a chain of events: a delayed tram, a gambling night for a barber, a botched haircut, and missed business opportunities. Eventually, this series of coincidences leads to an international crisis and changes many lives. A masterful depiction of the unpredictable connections in the fate of humanity.
