EXCERPT

Once upon a time, there lived a poor miller with his three sons.

After a long illness the miller died. His eldest son received a windmill, the second son got a donkey, and the youngest inherited a cat.

“My brothers are luckier than me,” said the young man.

“What am I going to do with a cat?” Hearing these words, the cat replied, “Do not worry, my good master. Just give me a nice hat,

a pair of boots, and a bag. I promise you won’t be disappointed.”
