The Cunning Cat

Once upon a time, there lived an old miller. When he died, his sons divided his property among themselves. Peter,
the youngest brother, got a cat as his share. He was sad about it.
The cat saw that Peter was sad and said, “Don’t worry! Give me a pair of boots and see what I can do for you”.
Peter gave his boots to the cat and the cat went to the forest to catch a rabbit there. After that the cat went to the
King and said:
“Young Majesty! My master the Duke has sent this rabbit as a gift to you”.
The King was very glad to hear it and asked the cat to tell the name of his master.
“The Duke of Baxley!” answered the cat.
Next day Peter with his cat came to the river and the cat asked his master to get into the river to swim until he
returns. Peter didn’t know the cat’s plan.
The cat went to the bridge and stood there. When the King’s carriage came to the bridge, the Cunning Cat began to
cry, “Help! Help! My master has been robbed. The robbers have taken away all his jewelry and clothes”. The King
recognized the cat and ordered to stop his carriage. When the King saw the Duke in the river, he ordered to bring
royal dress for him. Peter got beautiful clothes and looked like a duke in them.
The King found Peter rather handsome. He thought Peter would be a suitable husband for his daughter. He asked
Peter if he wanted to marry his daughter. Peter agreed. Thanks to the Cunning Cat, Peter was now a rich and noble
man and husband of the Princess.
