The Poor Miller’s Boy and the Cat
Watercolor 8”Hx5”W


“I know you wish to have a beautiful horse. Come with me, and be my faithful servant for seven years, and then I will give you the most stunning horse you’ve ever seen in your whole life.”

“Well, this is a wonderful cat!” thought Hans, “but I am determined to see if she is telling the truth.” So Hans agreed to go. The tabby cat took Hans with her into her enchanted castle. This little tabby-cat was actually the princess.

Seven years passed so quickly that it only felt like six months to Hans, and his clothes were too small to fit anywhere.
