Once upon a time, there was a boy named Pedro. Pedro was William's best friend! They played together all the time, especially when they saw birds. William was a very fast and cheerful boy with curly blonde hair and brown eyes. He loved to run and play with his friend, Pedro.
One day, Pedro met William in the garden where they always played. Pedro looked sad. "My father passed away," he said, his voice low. "He left the family windmill to my older brother, a pack mule to my middle brother, and only a cat to me."
William was shocked. "How are you going to survive with just a cat!" he exclaimed. "Don't worry," William said, "I'll help you. We can be fast and cheerful together."
But the cat interrupted them. "If you get me a pair of leather boots," the cat said, "I'll prove very useful to Pedro!"
William and Pedro broke open their piggy bank. They had saved many coins. They went to the market and bought a pair of boots for the cat. "Will you come with us?" the cat asked. "I'll stay with my brothers," Pedro said, but William never turned down an adventure. "Let's go!" he said.
The cat and William went to the enchanted forest near William's house in Phoenix. William's superpower was speed like a cheetah! It was amazing how fast he could run. He showed the cat how fast he could be. The cat smiled and said, "I have a plan. You'll understand soon."
The cat was a good hunter. He caught two hens! They went to the enchanted castle in the forest. William gave the hens to one of the king's servants. "These are a gift from a young man who has recently moved to the kingdom," the cat said. The king's servants were happy to receive them.
When they met Pedro in the garden, the cat told him about the hens. "What's the plan, William?" Pedro asked. "I don't know yet," William said, but he was excited.
The cat, Pedro, and William played in the garden. Then Pedro and William decided to swim in the nearby pond. Just as they were about to jump in, a royal carriage came up. "Stay here," the cat whispered, "It's all part of the plan!"
The cat ran to the king in the carriage. "Someone stole the clothes of my young master and his friend," he said. The king was very kind. He invited the cat, William, and Pedro to ride in the carriage. "I will arrange new clothes for you!" he promised. "Thank you!" William said, his face beaming.
"Your Majesty," the cat said, "are you interested in seeing the lands of my young master, Pedro?" "Of course," the king replied.
The cat directed the carriage to the castle of a powerful ogre. Pedro was confused, but he and William were thrilled to be on this adventure.
The cat jumped out of the carriage first. "Pedro, show the king around your lands," he said. Pedro and William were confused, but they decided to play along.
The cat entered the castle. The wicked ogre was surprised to see him. "What's a cat doing in my castle?" he boomed. The cat smiled. "I greatly admire your magical powers. Could you transform into a lion?" Like magic, the ogre turned into a lion!
"Could you turn into a mouse?" the cat asked. The ogre wanted to show off his power, so he turned into a mouse! The cat, now a lion, ate the mouse! Now, the castle belonged to Pedro. Pedro and William could play there as much as they wanted. Especially with William's superpower, Speed like a cheetah!
The cat, who also had magical powers, turned back into a cat. "Let's go," he said, and he led them all into the castle.
The king was amazed by the incredible castle. He was even more impressed by the humility of Pedro and William. "I would like to introduce my daughter as a potential future match," the king said, "I think you and she would make a beautiful family."
Pedro and William were delighted. They couldn't wait to meet the princess. But they knew they had to tell the truth. "The cat helped us get the castle," William explained.
The king was even happier. "I am so proud of you," he said. "You are honest and kind."
After that day, Pedro, William, the cat, and the princess played together every day in the enchanted forest garden. They all loved birds.
This truly is a happily ever after!
