The Cat's Elopement
[ From the Japanische Marchen und Sagen, von David Brauns
(Leipzig: Wilhelm Friedrich).]



Once upon a time there lived a cat of marvellous beauty, with a
skin as soft and shining as silk, and wise green eyes, that could
see even in the dark. His name was Gon, and he belonged to a
music teacher, who was so fond and proud of him that he would not
have parted with him for anything in the world.
