00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Once upon a time there was a man who was

2
00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>very poor. He was so poor that he had to

3
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:09.279
<v Speaker 1>sell one thing after another to get food to keep

4
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>from starving. After a while, there was nothing left except

5
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:18.199
<v Speaker 1>the cat. He was very fond of his cat, and

6
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:23.920
<v Speaker 1>he said, O cat, let come, what will I'll never

7
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:31.199
<v Speaker 1>part with you. I'd rather starve. The cat replied, oh, good,

8
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:35.719
<v Speaker 1>master Domingo, resting peace, you will never starve as long

9
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.840
<v Speaker 1>as you have me. I'm going out into the world

10
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>to make a fortune for us both. The cat went

11
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:48.679
<v Speaker 1>into the jungle and dug and dug. Every time he dug,

12
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:53.359
<v Speaker 1>he turned up silver pieces. The cat took a numble

13
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.759
<v Speaker 1>these home to his master so that he could purchase food.

14
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.079
<v Speaker 1>The rest of the pieces of silver the cat carried

15
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.560
<v Speaker 1>to the king. The next day, the cat dugg got

16
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.239
<v Speaker 1>pieces of gold and carry them to the king. The

17
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:14.319
<v Speaker 1>next day he carried pieces of diamonds. Where do you

18
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:20.959
<v Speaker 1>get these rich gifts? Who is sending me such wonderful presents,

19
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>asked the king. The cat replied, it is my master Domingo.

20
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Now the king had a beautiful daughter. He thought that

21
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 1>this man Domingo must be the richest man in the

22
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:40.200
<v Speaker 1>whole kingdom. He decided that his daughter should marry him

23
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.239
<v Speaker 1>at once. He made arrangements for the wedding through the cat.

24
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I haven't any clothes to wear at the wedding, said

25
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 1>Domingo when the cat told him that he was to

26
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.879
<v Speaker 1>marry the daughter of the king. Never mind about that,

27
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>just leave it to me, reply the cat. The cat

28
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>went to the king and said, oh, King, there has

29
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 1>been a terrible fire in the tailor shop where they

30
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>were making the wedding garments of my master Domingo. The

31
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>tailor and all of his assistants were burned to death,

32
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>and the entire outfit of my master Domingo was destroyed.

33
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Hasn't your majesty something which you could lend him to

34
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 1>wear the wedding? The King sent the richest garments, which

35
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.639
<v Speaker 1>his wardrobe folded. Domingo was clothed in state, ready for

36
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the wedding. I have no palace to wish to take

37
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 1>my bride, said Domingo to the cat. Never mind, I'll

38
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:52.039
<v Speaker 1>see about it at once, replied the cat. The cat

39
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 1>went into the forest to the great castle where the

40
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 1>giant dwelt. He marched straight up to the big giant

41
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:04.120
<v Speaker 1>and si O Giant I wish to borrow your castle

42
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>from my master Domingo. Will you not be so kind

43
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 1>as to lend it to me? A little while the

44
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>giant was very much insulted. No, indeed, I will not

45
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 1>lend my castle to you, or your master Domingo, or

46
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 1>anybody else, he shouted in his most terrible voice. Very well, then,

47
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:36.039
<v Speaker 1>replied the cat. He changed the giant to a piece

48
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>of bacon in the twinkling of an eye, and devoured

49
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>him on the spot. The palace of the Giant was

50
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 1>a very wonderful palace. There was one room decked with silver,

51
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.639
<v Speaker 1>and one room decked with gold, and one room decked

52
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 1>with diamonds. A beautiful river flowed by the garden gate.

53
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 1>As Domius's bride sailed down the river to the garden

54
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.879
<v Speaker 1>gate in the royal barge, they saw the cat seen

55
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>in the window singing. After that they never saw him again.

56
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.840
<v Speaker 1>He disappeared in the jungle and went to make some

57
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.959
<v Speaker 1>other poor man rich. Perhaps he will come your way

58
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 1>some day. Who knows? King sabby, they say in Brazil.

59
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:26.639
<v Speaker 1>End of Domingo's Cat
