V . The King’s Clothes The servant rides to the palace very fast . Soon he comes back with a lovely suit . It is made of blue silk , with gold buttons . He also brings a white shirt and new shoes . The young man puts on the new clothes behind the trees . Then he comes out onto the road . What a change ! In his old clothes , he is a poor boy from the mill . But in the king’s suit , he looks like a prince ! The young man is tall and handsome . Now , in fine clothes , everyone can see it . The young man goes to the coach and bows to the king . “ Thank you very much , Your Majesty , ” he says . “ You are very kind . ” “ Not at all , my lord Marquis , ” says the king . “ What a fright you had in the river ! ” In the coach , next to the king , sits the princess . The princess looks at the young man . She looks at him once . She looks at him twice . “ How handsome this Marquis is ! ” she thinks . The young man looks at the princess too . He looks at her two or three times , very politely , with kind eyes . She is so beautiful ! And with those few looks , something happens . The princess falls in love with him . She falls deeply in love . “ My lord Marquis , ” says the king , “ come into my coach . Let’s ride together . ” The young man gets into the coach . He sits down opposite the king and the princess . He is a little nervous . It is his first time in a coach . And a princess is looking at him ! That never happens at the mill . The coach starts to move . The horses go slowly along the river road . The cat watches the coach and smiles . His plan is going very well . “ Now I must run , ” he thinks . And the cat runs along the road , in front of the coach . In his boots , he runs like the wind . Soon the coach is far behind him . VI . The Meadow and the Wheat The cat runs and runs . Soon he comes to a very big green meadow . There are some men in the meadow . They are cutting the grass . The cat stops in front of them . He makes an angry face . He shows his claws . “ Good people , ” he says , “ listen to me . The king is coming along this road . He is going to ask you , ‘ Whose meadow is this ? ’ And you must say , ‘ It belongs to the Marquis of Carabas . ’ ” The cat looks at his long , sharp claws . “ And if you do not say it , I will chop you up into little pieces . All of you ! As small as the meat in a pie . ”
