Another time, again, he hid among a cornfield, held his bag open, and when a brace of partridges (7) ran into it, he soon drew the strings and caught them.
The same as what he had done before, he made a present of these to the king. The cat kept continuing sending the presents for three months and constantly said that the presents were from his master, the Marquis of Carabas.
One day, he heard that the king and his daughter were about to drive in his carriage along the river bank.
Puss in Boots told his master: “If you follow my advice, your fortune (8) is close.” Without questioning and knowing why or wherefore, Miller’s son did what the cat advised him to do.
While he was washing, the king passed by, and the cat began to cry out: “Help! Help! My Lord, Marquis of Carabas, is going to be drowned!”
Hearing that noise, the king put his head out of the coach window, and saw the cat who had so often brought him such nice presents.
The cat came up to the coach and told the king that while his lord was washing, there came by some rogues (9), who stole his clothes.
This cunning cat had actually hidden the clothes under a big stone.
The king commanded his guards to fetch one of his best suits for the Lord Marquis of Carabas.
The king was very pleased to finally meet the Marquis of Carabas.
Although Miller’s son was poor, he was handsome and a well-built (10) fellow, so that the king’s daughter fell in love with him.
