Once upon a time, there was a miller. After his death, he left his mill, donkey, and cat to his three sons. The youngest son only got the cat, and he felt very unlucky because the cat didn't seem to be of any use. But this cat was very clever. It said to its master, "Master, if you just give me a bag and a pair of boots, you will find that I am very useful." Although the youngest son didn't quite believe it, he still did as the cat said.
The cat put on the boots and walked into the forest with the bag. It knew that there were a lot of rabbits in the forest, so it scattered some wheat grains in the places where rabbits often haunted, and then hid aside and waited. Soon, a little rabbit got into the bag, and the cat immediately tightened the opening of the bag and caught the little rabbit. The cat took the little rabbit to see the king and said that it was a gift from its master, Marquis of Carabas (this was the new name the cat gave to its master). The king was very happy and thought that this marquis was very polite.
A few days later, the cat went to the riverside again. It saw some peasants washing clothes in the river, so it hid its master's clothes and then said to the peasants, "If you don't say that these clothes were accidentally dropped into the river by Marquis of Carabas, you will be in big trouble." The peasants were very frightened and did as the cat said. The cat then ran to the king and said that its master's clothes were stolen when he was taking a bath in the river. As soon as the king heard this, he immediately sent people to catch those peasants and also rewarded Marquis of Carabas with a lot of beautiful clothes.
In this way, time and again, with its wisdom, the cat made the king respect the so - called Marquis of Carabas more and more. The cat also managed to let its master get a beautiful castle. Finally, the cat learned that the king was going to travel near the castle, so it told all the monsters in the castle to turn into the forms of various animals. When the king arrived, the cat said that these animals were the property of Marquis of Carabas. The king saw that Marquis of Carabas was so wealthy and the castle was so magnificent, so he married his daughter to Marquis of Carabas. And this clever cat also lived a good life and no longer had to live a poor life with its master.
