The master cat; or puss in boots by Charles Perrault.
Once upon a time lived a miller who left an inheritence to the three sons. He had his mill, an ass, and a cat. The partition was soon made. The eldest had the mill, the second the ass, and the youngest the cat.
The poor fellow was very grief because he had only cat. Then cat said: "Give me a pair of boots and bag." Cat's master give its his pet; the youngest son knew the cat enough cunning.
Cat went to the hunt and caught a rabbit. A take, cat give it to the king. King said: "Say thank you for your master." Cat said: "His name the Marquis of Carabas." Next time a take was brace of partridges. So cat went to the king for two or three months.
Marquis of Carabas wanted to make the acquaintance of the king and his daughter princess.
Cat gave an advise his master: "You can wash in river and cry "Help, me!""
One day, when king and his daughter took the air along the river-side they heared: "Help, me! I'm sinking!" It was the Marquis of Carabas. He was escaped.
The king immediately commanded the officer off his wardrobe to run and fetch one of his suit for the Marquis of Carabas. They three together drow in carriage. (King thought that the Lord Marquis of Carabas had a castle).
Cat who went still before, met reapers and said to them: "Good people, if you don't tell the king that all this corn belongs to the Marquis of Carabas, you shall be chopped as small as herbs for the corn."
When king, his daughter and the Lorn Marquis of Carabas asked reapers that are fields. They said: "Its fields Marquis of Carabas."
In castle lived a big orge. Puss in boots asked him: "Can you turn into a lion?" So orge became a big evil lion. Cat was very afraid.
But next, cat asked him turn into a little animal, example mouse. A Big ogre became a mouse and cat suddenly ate it.
On next day in castle was a wedding. Marquis of Carabas and princess married and lived long and happily.
