Puss In Boots

Once upon the time, there was a young man who inherited a cat named Puss from his father.

The young man was wondering how were they going to make a living, when the cat suddenly spoke.

"Do not worry, my master. Give me a pair of your boots and a bag then I shall solve your problem." said the cat.

The young man hesitated, but did what he was told.

With the bag his master gave him, Puss put on his boots and went to the field.

He placed some lettuce in the field and when the rabbits came to nibble on them, Puss jumped out and caught them.

With a bag full of fine rabbits Puss went to see the King in the castle.

"Your Highness," said the cat, "My master would like to present you with this fine present of a bag healthy adorable rabbits. Please accept them," Puss continued.

The King thought the cat was extraordinary, thus he accepted the present and asked, "Tell me young man, who is your master anyway?"

"Your Majesty, my master is the Marquis of Carrabas whose castle isn't too far from here," Puss answered before he left.

A few days later, Puss told the young man to go swimming in a nearby lake and pretended that he was the Marquis of Carrabas.

As the King's carriage was passing by, Puss ran up to it and told the King that his master's clothes was stolen.

In no time, the King sent him a nice suit, introduced him to his daughter and then invited him to join them for a ride.

Meanwhile, Puss went ahead down the road and saw a large castle. He walked in and met the monster that owned it.

"Can you really do magic, Your Hugeness?" the cat asked the monster, "I would love to see you do some magic if it is okay with you."

The ogre laughed at Puss and turned into a lion immediately. Upon the cat's request, the monster turned in to a tiny mouse and Puss quickly jumped on him and ate him up.

When the Royal family and his master arrived, Puss welcomed them as if it was his master's castle. The King was very impressed and so was the Princess.

Soon, the young man married the Princess and they lived in his castle - with the clever cat - happily ever after.
