关于这个故事

Puss in Boots is a French fairy tale published by Charles Perrault in 1697 as The Master Cat, or Puss in Boots, in the same collection as Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood. A clever cat wins a fortune for his penniless master, the miller's youngest son, by inventing the grand title Marquis of Carabas. Perrault's cat threatens to have the mowers chopped up and gobbles up the ogre once he becomes a mouse; this bedtime version keeps the cat cheeky but traps the ogre under a teacup and sends him packing.

故事告诉我们

Cleverness and effort can take you further than whatever you happen to inherit. It's also a fun story to talk over afterwards: the cat wins by bluffing, so is that fair?

讲给孩子听的小贴士

Give Puss a very proper, polite voice; it makes his fibs funnier.
Let your child shout Marquis of Carabas every time it comes up.
Ask whether the cat told the truth, and what the miller's son should do now.
