The Master Cat, Or Puss In Boots

I read "The Master Cat, Or Puss In Boots".
 
Once upon a time, there was a miller who had three sons. After he died, the three sons were each given their inheritance. The eldest son got a mill, the second ass, and the youngest only a cat. The youngest didn't feel satisfied with such a poor share. He sadly said, "When I have eaten up my cat, and made me a muff of his skin, I must die of hunger."
At that time, the cat spoke to the youngest son, and the cat asked him to give the cat a bag and a pair of shoes. He gave them to the cat. The cat went into a warren and captured a rabbit. Then the cat gave a king of the country the rabbit. Also, another day, the cat gave him the bird. The king was so pleased. The cat told him everytime that these are the present from the Marquis of Carabas. So, he started to thank the Marquis of Carabas.
Then, the cat got along with the king, and made him think that the Marquis of Carabas is the youngest son by using various ways. The king completely believed it.
The king was extremely polite to the son, and the son became well made and handsome thanks to the fine clothes he had given him.
Finally, the cat also robbed the big castle from the Ogre. The king admired the son and his daughter fell in love with him. Then they married.
Thanks to the cat, the youngest son was able to become happy.
