There once was a farmer who had three sons He had only three things to leave to his sons The oldest son took the cornfield The middle son took the donkey All that was left for the youngest son was his father’s favorite cat 3
Young Carabas didn’t know what he would do with the cat My brothers can use the field and the donkey to earn a good living said Carabas But what good is this cat 4
Cheer up my good master the cat said to him I can do plenty All I need is a bag and a pair of boots Carabas had seen how clever the cat was at chasing mice Perhaps he could do plenty with a good pair of boots 5
