When he died, he left his mill to the eldest son, his ass (驴) to the second son, and his cat to the youngest, who had always been his favorite. The two elder sons decided to live together, but they would not let their brother live with them. He was very sad and wondered what he should do to get his bread. While he was sitting and thinking about it, Puss jumped up on the table, and touched him with her paw (爪子). She was saved by the old miller, so she decided to help the poor boy. “My dear master,” she said, “do not fret. I will get your living, but you must buy me a pair of boots (靴子) and give me a bag.” The miller’s son had very little money, but he thought it such a wonderful thing to hear a cat talk. So he took Puss to the shoemaker’s, and got him to make her a very smart pair of boots, and then he gave her a nice large bag. Now, Puss put some lettuce leaves into her bag, went into a rabbit warren (兔子窝) not far from the mill, and held the bag open, hiding herself behind it. And little greedy rabbits ran into the bag to eat the lettuce leaves. When they were in, Puss pulled the string of the bag, and carried them off to her master. The miller’s son cooked one for dinner. Puss took away the other and keep it for their next day’s meal. Early the next day Puss caught two rare (稀有的) rabbits in the same way. But instead of carrying them home she walked to the king’s palace.
