Puss in Boots

1908

The miller's three sons receive their father's inheritance: the mill to the eldest, the donkey to the second, and the cat to the youngest. The two brothers refuse to share with the youngest, so the cat transforms himself and grows large. Wearing boots, he leaves on a foray and catches some rabbits, which he offers to the King on behalf of his master, "the Marquis of Carabas." Then he asks his young master to pretend to drown. The King and his entourage, alerted, rescued the boy. Later, when the King passes by, the cat asks the farmers to declare that they are in the service of the Marquis of Carabas. At the ogre's castle, the clever cat tricks the ogre into transforming into a mouse, which the cat catches and eats. Thus, the ogre's castle becomes the property of the young man, who eventually marries the King's daughter.
