STORY OF PUSS IN BOOTS
A miller left as the only legacy to his three sons, his mill, his donkey and his cat. The deal was simple: no need to call either the lawyer or notary. Would have consumed all the poor patrimony.
The biggest was the mill, the second took the donkey and the child he played only the cat. This was lamenting their miserable inheritance
"My brothers, he said, can make a living working properly together, what I eat after my cat and me a cuff on your skin, I'll die of hunger.
The cat, who heard these words, but it was the other way, he said in a serious tone and slow:
JACK: "You must not afflict you, my lord, you only have to give me a bag and a pair of boots to walk through the bushes, and you will find your inheritance is not as poor as you think.
Although the master cat entertained no illusions about this large, had been given many samples of agility to catch rats and mice, and hung upside down or hide in the flour to play possum, who despaired of being rescued by him in their misery.
When the cat had what was called, placed the boots and throwing the bag around his neck, fastened the laces it with both front legs, and went to a field where there were many rabbits. He put bran and herbs in his bag and lying on the floor as if dead, waited for a guinea, little knowing even the wiles of this world come to putting his nose in the bag to eat what was inside. No sooner was lying, when he was satisfied. A dazed rabbit got into the sack and the master cat, pulling the strings, locked him and killed him without mercy.
Very proud with his prey, was where the king and asked to speak with him. I drove up to the quarters of His Majesty which, on entering, bowed deeply before the king, and said:
JACK: "Here, sire, a rabbit field that Mr. Marquis of Carabas (was the name he invented for his master) has asked me obsequiaros on your part.
KING: "Tell your master," replied the King, I thank you and that pleases me greatly.
On another occasion, he hid in a cornfield, always leaving open his bag, and when it came two partridges, pulled the strings and both hunted. Went immediately to offerings to the King, as he did with the rabbit in the field. The King was also welcomed the two partridges, and ordered them to give him a drink.
The Cat continued for two or three months, bringing occasional game products to the King his master. One day he learned that the King would go for a walk along the river with her daughter, the most beautiful princess in the world, and told his master:
JACK: "Yeah you want to follow my advice, your fortune is made, you only have to bathe in the river at the site that will show you, and then I'll do the rest.
The Marquis of Carabas did what the Cat advised him not knowing what to serve.While he was bathing, the King passed by, and the cat began to scream with all their might:
JACK: - Help, help! The Marquis of Carabas is drowning!
On hearing the cry, the King put his head out the door and, recognizing that many times the cat had been hunting, he ordered his guards who rushed to the aid of the Marquis of Carabas. While the river drew the poor Marquis, the cat approached the carriage and told the King that while his master was bathing, some thieves had taken their clothes despite having shouted the thief! with all his might, a rogue cat had hidden under a huge stone.
The King immediately ordered those in charge of your wardrobe that were in search of his most beautiful garments for the Marquis of Carabas. The King made him a thousand attentions, and as the beautiful dress that had just given him enhanced his figure because he was handsome and well formed, the king's daughter found him much to his liking, enough that the Marquis of Carabas had addressed two or three looks very respectful and somewhat tender, and she was madly in love.
The King wanted to come up to his chariot and accompany him on the trip. The cat, delighted at seeing his project began to be, advanced, and having met some peasants who mowed a lawn, he said:
CAT: "Good reapers, if you say no to the King that the meadow you are mowing is the Marquis of Carabas, I do like meat pudding hash.
Certainly the King said to the reapers, who was this meadow they were mowing.
FARMERS: "It's the Marquis of Carabas," they said with one voice, because the threat had frightened cat.
KING: "You have here a beautiful heritage," said the King to the Marquis of Carabas.
AMO: "You see, your Majesty, is a land that never ceases to produce in abundance every year.
The master cat, who always went forward, found some farmers who harvested and said:
CAT: "Good people who are reaping, if you do not say that all these fields belong to the Marquis of Carabas, I do like meat pudding hash.
The king, who happened moments later, wanted to know who owned the fields he saw.
FARMERS: "Son of the Marquis of Carabas," answered the peasant, and the King was pleased again with the Marquis.
The cat, who was in front of the coach, he always said the same thing to everyone who was, and the King was very impressed with the wealth of the Marquis of Carabas.
The master cat finally came to a beautiful castle owned by an ogre, the richest that was ever seen, because all the land where they had passed were dependent on the castle.
The cat, who was careful to inquire about who this ogre and what he could do, asked to speak with him, saying he had not wanted to pass so near his castle without having the honor to make the bow. The ogre received him in the most polite thing you can do an ogre and invited him to rest.
JACK: "I have been assured," said the cat that you had the gift to turn into any kind of animal that you could, for example, transform you into a lion, elephant.
OGRE: "True," answered the ogre rudely, and to prove you will see how I become a lion.
The cat was so frightened at the sight of a lion in front of him in a heartbeat climbed into the gutter, not without pain or risk from the boots of all served to walk on the tiles.
Some time later, saw that the ogre had resumed its original form, the cat down and confessed that he had been very frightened.
JACK: "Besides, I have been assured," said the cat, but I can not believe that you also have the power to take the form of more small animal, for example, that you can become a mouse, a rat, I confess that it seems impossible.
OGRE - Impossible? "Said the ogre, you'll see," and at the same time became a rat was running across the floor.
Just saw the cat jumped on it and ate it.
Meanwhile, the King, who was passing the beautiful castle of the ogre, he wanted to enter. The cat, hearing the noise of the carriage crossed the drawbridge, ran forward and told King:
JACK: "Your Majesty is welcome to the castle of Marquis of Carabas.
KING: - How, Marquis said the king, "this castle also belong to you! Nothing is more beautiful than this courtyard and all the buildings surrounding it, see inside, please.
The Marquis offered his hand to the young Princess and, following the King that was first entered a large room where they found a magnificent collation commanded the ogre had prepared for his friends who come to see that day, which were not dared to enter, knowing that the King was there.
The King, delighted with the good qualities of the Marquis of Carabas, as his daughter, who was madly in love seeing the valuable property he owned, he said, after drinking five or six glasses:
KING: "Just depends on you, Mr. Marquis, that you be my son.
The Marquis, with great reverence, he accepted the honor to the King, and that same day he married the princess. The cat became a great lord, and no longer ran after rats but to have fun.
The biggest was the mill, the second took the donkey and the child he played only the cat. This was lamenting their miserable inheritance
