Yes! I will be a great musician there! He thought.

He started his journey. He walked and walked until he reached a dog, lying on the road! The dog was gasping like he had just finished a long run!

What are you gasping for, dear friend?

OH! I got old and I can’t go hunting every day! said the dog. My master didn’t want me anymore! So I decided to run away! But, how can I find food?

I know what to do! I’m going to Bremen to become a musician! come with me. We can form a band together. I’ll play the Lute and you shall beat the kettledrum!

So the dog agreed! They were not far in the road when they saw a cat! He was sitting on the road, with eyes full of tears like the ocean!

Fluffy fellow! Why are you crying so hard? Asked the donkey!

How can I be happy when my life is in danger! I’m getting old! My teeth are not sharp anymore! I don’t wanna chase mice anymore! I rather sit near the fireplace and rest! So my mistress wanted to get rid of me! I escaped! But what am I gonna do now?

Join us! You understand night music. So you can be a member of our band! We are gonna be musicians of Bremen!

The cat thought really hard and decided to join them. The three runaways continued their journey and they reached a rooster who was cock-a-doodle-doing with all his might.

Your cock-a-doodle-do goes through and through my skull, said the donkey. What is the problem?

The rooster agreed. So the four animal continued their trip to Bremen. In the evening they decided to rest in the forest. The donkey and the dog laid under a large tree while the rooster and the cat settled in the branches. The rooster flew right un the top where he was safer. right before they fall to sleep, the rooster said:

I saw a light! there most be a house not far off!

So we better get up and go! Said the donkey. I’m not comfortable here! We want a shelter.

So they moved further on, and soon saw the light shine brighter and grow larger, until they came to a well lit robber’s house. The donkey, as the biggest, went to the window and looked in.

What do you see, my grey horse? Asked the rooster.

What do I see? Answered the donkey. A table covered with good things to eat and drink, and robbers sitting at it enjoying themselves.

OH! That is just what we want! Said the rooster!

I wish we were there! Moaned the donkey!

Then the animals put their heads together and planned how to best win an invitation to come inside and join the robbers at the feast.

Come, come my friends, said the donkey. We are musicians, so let us sing for our supper.

They began to sing as best as they can. The donkey brayed, the dog barked, the cat mewed, and the rooster cock-a-doodle-do’ed.

Then they burst through the window into the room, so that the glass clattered! At this horrible din, the robbers sprang up, thinking this has to be a ghost, and they escaped in a great fright out into the forest.

The four companions now sat down at the table, pleased with what was left, and ate as if they were going to fast for a month.

As soon as the four musicians finished eating, they turned off the light, and each found a sleeping place according to his nature and fell to sleep. The donkey laid himself down upon some straw in the yard, the dog behind the door, the cat upon the hearth near the warm ashes, and the rooster perched himself upon a beam of the roof; and being tired from their long walk, they soon went to sleep.

A little after midnight, the robbers saw from afar that the light was no longer burning in their house. Appearing quiet, the boss said:

We ought not to have let ourselves be frightened out of our wits. You! Go and examine the house.

The man finding all was still, went into the kitchen to light a candle, and taking the glistening fiery eyes of the cat for burning coals, he held the candle to them to light it. The cat did not understand what he meant to do, however, and flew in his face, spitting and scratching.

He was dreadfully frightened, and ran to the back door, but the dog, who lay there sprang up and bit his leg. As he ran across the yard by the straw heap, the donkey gave him a smart kick with its hind foot. The rooster too, who had been awakened by the noise, had become lively, and cried down from the beam, “Cock-a-doodle-doo!”

Then the robber ran back as fast as he could to his boss and said:

Ah, there is a horrible witch sitting in the house, who spat on me and scratched my face with her long claws; and by the door stands a man with a knife who stabbed me in the leg, and in the yard there lies a monster who beat me with a wooden club. Above, upon the roof, sits the judge, who called out: “Bring the rogue here to me!” So I got away as well as I could.

It doesn’t seem impossible that this cat could help me!

So he gave his bag to the cat and spend his last coins for buying a pair of boots for it!

looking gallant in the boots, he put bran and corn in his bag and put it around his neck. Then he slept near rabbit nest, pretending to be dead. He waited for innocent rabbits to come around and look for corn and bran.

Not very long after, a stupid naughty rabbit came and jumped into his bag. The Puss quickly closed the bag. Happy with his caught, He went to the palace and asked for talking to the emperor!

OH! His Majesty! I brought you a warrior rabbit! My proud master, Marquis of Carabas, ordered me to present to you.

Tell your master that I thanked him and he does me a great deal of pleasure.

After that, Puss again hid in the cornfield, holding still his bag open, and when a brace of partridges ran into it he closed the bag and caught them both. He went and made a present of these to the king, as he had done before of the rabbit. The king, in like manner, received the partridges with great pleasure, and ordered him some money for drink.

In this way, the cat continued for two or three months to bring presents to the king, always saying that they were from his master, the Marquis of Carabas. One day in particular, he heard at the palace that the king was planning to drive in his carriage along the river bank, and he decided to take his daughter with him. The Princess was the most beautiful girl in the kingdom.

Puss in Boots said to his master:

Follow my lead and your future is made. You have to but go and wash yourself in the river, in the place that I shall show you, and leave the rest to me.

The youngest son did the exact him, without knowing why or wherefore. While he was washing, the king passed by, and the cat began to cry out:

Help! Help! My Lord, Marquis of Carabas, is drowning!

At this noise the king put his head out of the coach window, and finding it was the cat who had so often brought him such good things, ordered his guards to run quickly to the aim of his Lordship, the Marquis of Carabas.

While they were helping the poor Marquis out of the river, the cat came up to the coach and told the king that while his master was washing, there came by some Thieves, who took his clothes:

Thieves! Thieves! He moaned!

This tricky cat had hidden the clothes under a great stone. The king immediately commanded the guards of his wardrobe to run and prepare one of his best suits for the Lord Marquis of Carabas.

The king was very happy to meet the Marquis of Carabas. The Miller’s boy looked really handsome in royal clothes. The king’s daughter took a secret glimpse to him. And soon, she fell in love with him because of his manners and good look!

The king invited him to sit in the coach and ride along with them. Celebrating the progress of his project in his heart, the cat started to march before the coach. after a while, He saw countrymen who where mowing a meadow:

OH you kind hearted people! I order you to tell the king that this meadow belongs to my master, Marquis of Carabas, or I will command those guards to kill you all!

Moments later, The king asked the countrymen:

Who owns this meadow that you are mowing, people?!

To my Lord Marquis of Carabas! answered they altogether, since the cat scared them to death!

You see, your majesty, said the Marquis, this meadow gives a plentiful harvest every year!

They started moving again. The Puss who was still walking in front of them, met with some reapers, and said to them:

Good people, you who are reaping, you have to tell the king that all this corn belongs to the Marquis of Carabas, I’ll order those soldiers to kill you.

The king, who passed by a moment after, wished to know to whom all that corn, asked the reapers:

Who does own this corns?

To my Lord Marquis of Carabas, replied the reapers.

Then the king said:

Let us now head to your castle.

The miller’s son, not knowing what to reply, looked at puss. The cat said:

OH your Majesty! I need one hour to go and get ready the castle for your presence! So I have to ask you wait that long if there is no problem.

With that, she jumped away and went to the castle of a huge giant and asked to see him, saying:

I could not pass so near my home without having the honour of paying my respects to you!

The giant received him as civilly as a monster could do, and made him sit down.

I have been assured said the cat, that you have the gift of being able to change yourself into all sorts of creatures as you wish; you can, for example, transform yourself into a lion, or elephant, and the like.

That is true! I’m going to prove this by transfer into a lion in this very moment!

Puss was so terrified at the sight of a lion so near him that he immediately climbed up the curtains, not without difficulty. A little while after, when Puss saw that the ogre had resumed his natural form, he came down and admitted he had been very much scared.

Although I doubt that you be able to save your self from the king’s army! He is coming here by the mean of destroying you.

The monster looked out of the window and saw the king waiting outside with his soldiers, and said:

What shall I do? How can I save myself?

Puss answered:

I suggest you transfer into something small and hide!

In an instant, the ogre turned himself into a mouse, and began to run about the floor. Puss run after him and ate him up in one second! Then he went to the door to welcome king into the castle:

Your Majesty is welcome to this castle of my Lord Marquis of Carabas!

What! My Lord Marquis, cried the king. Does this castle also belong to you? This is the most beautiful building in my kingdom! Let us visit inside!

The Marquis gave his hand to the princess, and followed the king, who went first. They passed into a spacious hall, where they found a magnificent rum punch, which the giant had prepared for his friends, who were that very day to visit him.

The friends, however, dared not to enter, knowing that the king was there. His Majesty was completely charmed with the good qualities of my Lord Marquis of Carabas, as was his daughter, who had fallen violently in love with him, and seeing the vast estate he possessed, said to him:

I would love you to be my son in law, Lord Marquis of Carabas,, If you don’t mind!

The Marquis, accepted the king’s idea and married his daughter the very same day! So my kids! The youngest boy became a prince and the Puss became a wealthy lord who didn’t have to chase mice again!

Anti and Antolon story

One cold autumn day, a little ant named Anti wanted to take home a big piece of biscuit with all his might! He used to stand a little behind biscuit and push it. He would stand in front of it for a while and pull it with his hands and try to make it move!

As he was trying, one of his friends, whose name was Antolon, stood next to him and said:
Hello Anti! what are you doing? And when his eyes fell on the biscuit, he said:
Wow, what a big biscuit! It must be very heavy! Do you want me to help you?

Anti said:
No thanks! I can take it myself!

Antolone said:
This is very heavy! How are you going to take it alone? It is gonna be a hard work!

Anti said:
No! It is not difficult at all! I am very strong and I can handle it myself! Don’t you know that we ants can lift and move loads heavier than ourselves?!

Antolone said:
I did not say that you are not strong! By the way, you are very strong and powerful! And you are right! Ants can do this! But everything has a limit! For example, can we ants lift a big tree branch? Obviously we can’t! So we have to do our work together!

Anti said:
No need to cooperate! I always do my work myself and I don’t need anyone!

Antolone said:
OK! as you like! But if you need help, you can count on me!

Antolon left and Anti started pulling and pushing the biscuit again! It was almost noon and Antti still couldn’t shake the biscuit! He was very hungry! He said to himself:
Maybe if I eat a little of the biscuit, it will be lighter and I can move it! So he started eating biscuits!

When he was full, he looked at the biscuit and realized that its size had not shrunk too much! But he still stuck to his words and was not ready to ask anyone for help!

It was sunset and Sun went to sleep! Anti was tired, but he was only able to move the biscuit a little! That’s why he sat down on the floor and looked at the biscuit! He said to himself:
If I had accepted Antolon’s help in the morning, I would be sitting in my warm and soft house now!

But there was no one to help him! He looked around but did not see anyone! He looked above his head and suddenly he saw Busy, the little bee, flying! He called Busy and begged him to tell Antolon to come to his aid!

His belly had grown so much and had come forward that he could no longer see his legs! Until one day after eating a piece of pizza that he had painted, he had a severe stomachache! He got dizzy and fell to the ground!

When he opened his eyes, Dr. Goat was standing above him! He said to the little panda:
You ate too much! From now on, you should be careful about what you eat and you should exercise!

When Doctor Goat left, Little Panda took a look at his own image in the mirror! and He was very surprised! He was very fat! Big belly and big hands and feet! He got so upset!
Now he understood why he walks so hard and can’t play with his friends like before! From that day on, the little panda started to exercise and eat healthy food! Once he wanted to throw away his magic pencil! But he thought to himself:
Why should I throw it away?! I can paint healthy foods with it! Like apples, oranges, lettuce and broccoli!

Every day that passed, the little panda got healthier and felt better! He had turned into the same cute and beautiful little panda and could play with his friends again!
