frippp: Cariba looked quite a Prince in his new clothes, and
when the King and the Princess returned Puss-in-Boots
introduced him to the King as the Marquis of Cariba.
The King asked Cariba to ride in his carriage, and the
lovely Princess was very pleased to meet the Marquis of
Cariba, and chatted with him about everything.

frippp: When the King and Princess and the Marquis of
Cariba arrived they were received by Puss-in-Boots who
made a profound bow, and showed them all the wonders
of the castle. Its thousands of precious gems glowing
and sparkling like fire, its wonderful gold and silver, halls,
and soldiers.

frippp: Again there was smoke and the lion said, “I will
change into a Mouse,” and a mouse was seen to run
into a corner, but quick as lightning Puss-in-Boots
jumped upon him and the wicked ogre-mouse was killed.
As soon as the ogre was dead everything in the castle
changed and became new.

frippp: “ I'll change into an Elephant,” said the ogre, and
instantly he became an elephant coming out of a cloud of
smoke. Puss-in-Boots was surprised and alarmed, and
begged the ogre to turn himself into a smaller animal,
and then the ogre said “Yes, I will change into a Lion.”

frippp: Instantly there was a big cloud of smoke and a dis-
agreeable noise was heard. The elephant disappeared and
out of the smoke jumped a roaring lion. “Oh!” said
Puss-in-Boots, “I am terribly frightened, turn quickly into
the form of a smaller animal, turn into a mouse, please.”

frippp: Puss-in-Boots set off to the castle, knowing that the
King could not get any rabbits because they were in the
enchanted wood and no one could go there. The palace
guards were astonished to see a cat with two rabbits.
Puss-in-Boots demanded to see the King at once.

frippp: The King was delighted to welcome Puss-in-Boots and
very glad to get a good dinner of his favourite rabbits,
and begged Puss-in-Boots to convey his best thanks to
his master, and promised to come and see him in his
master's castle and bring the lovely Princess with him
soon.

frippp: Cariba gave Puss-in-Boots a hat, a pair of boots, a
bag, and a stick, and then bid his cat good-bye, who
promised to find his Princess and help him to make her
his wife. Then Puss-in-Boots set out upon his mission
as happy as a king.

frippp: Now Cariba was very much in love with a beautiful
Princess and Puss-in-Boots said that he would help Cariba
to make her his wife, only he must have his own way and
his master must follow him in all he wanted him to
do. Cariba was astonished to hear his cat speak, but he
promised to obey him.

frippp: Just then the King came by in his carriage. Puss-in-
Boots told him that his master's clothes had fallen in
the river while bathing and had been lost. So the King
said that he had an odd suit in his carriage he intended
making a present of to Cariba, and he gave him the suit
at once. And Cariba came out of the water afterwards
and put them on.
