A big, bad, ugly ogre lives in a beautiful castle. The castle is near Daniel's house. That ogre frightens everyone in the village, says Daniel to his cat. I don't like him. Look, says Daniel's cat. There's Princess Caroline in her coach. You like her? Princess Caroline smiles at Daniel. Yes, I do, says Daniel. She's very beautiful. How can I meet her? I've got an idea, says his cat.

一个凶狠丑陋的大食人魔住在一座漂亮的城堡里。 这座城堡离丹尼尔的家很近。 那个食人魔把村里所有人都吓坏了，丹尼尔对他的猫说。 我不喜欢他。 快看呀，丹尼尔的猫说。 卡洛琳公主坐在她的马车里呢。你喜欢她吗？ 卡洛琳公主对着丹尼尔笑了。 对呀，我喜欢她，丹尼尔说。她长得可真美。 我怎么才能认识她呀？ 我有个主意哦，他的猫说。

I can go to the King's palace with some presents from you, says Daniel's cat. But I'm a poor man, says Daniel. I can't buy presents for the King. No, says his cat, but we can catch some fish for the King. Daniel and his cat go to the river and catch four big fish. Now give me a pair of boots and a hat with a feather, says Daniel's cat.

我可以带着你送的礼物去国王的宫殿，丹尼尔的猫说。 可我是个穷人呀，丹尼尔说。我买不起送给国王的礼物。 没关系呀，他的猫说，我们可以给国王抓几条鱼呀。 丹尼尔和他的猫来到河边，抓了四条大鱼。 现在给我一双靴子，还有一顶插着羽毛的帽子吧，丹尼尔的猫说。

You look very handsome with your new boots and hat, says Daniel. Good! Now I'm ready to meet the King, says the Cat. What can I call you when I meet the King, says the Cat? I can't call you Daniel. Can I call you Lord Carabass? Yes, says Daniel. That's an excellent name. And I can call you Puss in Boots.

你穿上新靴子戴上新帽子看起来可帅啦，丹尼尔说。 太棒啦！现在我准备好去见国王啦，猫咪说。 我见国王的时候该怎么称呼你呀，猫咪说？ 我总不能叫你丹尼尔吧。 我叫你卡拉巴斯勋爵好不好？ 好呀，丹尼尔说。这个名字太好听啦。 那我就叫你穿靴子的猫啦。

Puss in Boots puts the fish in his bag and goes to the King's palace. Good morning, Your Majesty, he says. I've got four big fish in my bag, a present from Lord Carabas. What beautiful big fish! Thank you very much, says the King. Lord Carabas is very kind. When can I meet him? Soon, says Puss in Boots. Very soon.

穿靴子的猫把鱼放进他的包里，就出发去国王的宫殿了。 早上好呀，国王陛下，他说。 我包里有四条大鱼，是卡拉巴斯勋爵送给您的礼物。 多好看的大鱼呀！太谢谢你了，国王说。 卡拉巴斯勋爵可真贴心。我什么时候能见到他呀？ 很快哦，穿靴子的猫说。很快就可以啦。

The next day Puss in Boots sees the King's coach near the river. Quickly, Daniel, jump into the river, he says. I can't jump into the river, says Daniel. I can't swim. Look, the King's coming in his coach, says Puss in Boots. He can help you. Help, please help, says Puss in Boots. Lord Carabass is in the river and he can't swim. Stop the coach, says the King.

第二天，穿靴子的猫看见国王的马车就在河边附近。 快，丹尼尔，快跳到河里去，他说。 我不能跳到河里呀，丹尼尔说。我不会游泳。 你看，国王坐着马车过来啦，穿靴子的猫说。 他会救你的。 救命呀，求求你们救命呀，穿靴子的猫喊道。 卡拉巴斯勋爵掉到河里啦，他不会游泳！ 快停下马车，国王说。
