The king asked the mowers to whom the meadow they were mowing belonged.

“To my Lord Marquis of Carabas,” answered them altogether, for the cat’s threats had made them dreadfully afraid.

“You see, sir, this is a meadow which never fails to yield a plentiful harvest every year,” said the Marquis amplifying the lies of the cat.

The miller’s son, not knowing what to reply, looked at puss who said, “If Your Majesty will but wait an hour, I will go on before and order the castle to be made ready for you.”

The ogre received him and made him sit down.
