Puss - In Boots

The king was delighted. “Tell your master,” he said, “that I thank him kindly.”

Proudly, he carried the rabbit to the king’s palace. Bowing low, he said, “Sire, my master, the Marquis of Carabas (for that was the fine name he invented for Jack), sends you this rabbit as a gift.” Puss in Boots

Jack, trusting his clever cat, did as he was told. He waded into the river and began to wash. The king was delighted

“Master,” he said, “if you want to make your fortune, go bathe in the river at the spot I shall show you. Leave the rest to me.” He waded into the river and began to wash

The king invited the Marquis of Carabas to join them in the carriage.

From then on, Puss in Boots continued to catch game—partridges, quail, and rabbits—and brought them all to the king in his master’s name. The king grew very fond of the generous “Marquis of Carabas.”

Soon a young, foolish rabbit hopped into the bag to eat the greens. Puss in Boots pulled the drawstrings tight and caught it.
