One day, an old man was having a walk in the forest when he suddenly saw a little cat stuck in a hole. The poor animal was struggling to get out. So, he gave him his hand to get him out. But the cat scratched his hand with fear. The man pulled his hand screaming with pain. But he did not stop; he tried to give a hand to the cat again and again..
Another man was watching the scene, screamed with surprise, “For god sakes! Stop helping this cat! He’s going to get himself out of there”.
The old man did not care about him , he just continued saving that animal until he finally succeeded, And then he walked to that man and said , “Son, it is cat’s Instincts that makes him scratch and to hurt, and it is my job to love and care”.

Yes, it should. To test this, take out "scratch". You wouldn't say "make him to hurt", you'd say "make him hurt".

     To be fair though, there are many other things that should also be changed in that passage.

My word, that's one gripping story! Is there a sequel?
