The cat put them on and went away to a big house and told the man that his master was out bathing and his cloths was stole. The man gave him some clothes and he brought them to his master. The cat went away again visiting two giants. He asked the giant which was the smallest thing he could turn himself into and the giant said 'a rat'.
