    (continued from previous page)
    he heard this, so he went to the town and bought shoes for the children. When he came home, the cat said to him "why didn't you buy a pair of shoes for me.", and he said that she would have to come and leave her measure for them.
    The cat disappeared at once and nothing was ever heard of her again.
