months, to take game to his majesty from his master.
One day, when he knew for certain that the king would be
taking a ride along the riverside with his daughter, the most
beautiful princess in the world, he said to his master, "If you
will follow my advice, your fortune is made. All you must do
is to go and bathe yourself in the river at the place I show
you, then leave the rest to me." The Marquis of Carabas did
what the cat advised him to, without knowing why. While he
was bathing, the king passed by, and the cat began to cry
out, "Help! Help! My Lord Marquis of Carabas is going to
be drown."
At this commotion, the king put his head out of the coach
window, and, finding it was the c t who had so often brought
him such good game, he commanded his guards to run
immediately to the assistance of his lordship, the Marquis
of Carabas.
