“Well, all right. But I want to see them first,” he grumbled. Butterfly ran down the
stairs and through the long corridor to my room, grabbed the kitty boots and hurried
back to her father.

“Oh,” said King Grumpy, “but those are very beautiful indeed. Royally beautiful
even.” He carefully looked over the boots and held them next to his dress. “Hmmm,”
he mumbled. “The same royal diamond and so red… I have never seen boots this
beautiful. These would look magnificent on me.”

The King hesitated for a moment longer and then said: “Okay, I will give you the
coin. But I want you to find me a pair of boots as well. Surely the royal cat should not
be wearing boots that are more beautiful than the King’s own!” As he grumbled he
took a big bite from his freshly made cheese sandwich.

Butterfly grabbed her cloak and ran outside. It was nearly noon already, so she had to
hurry to find the leprechaun lady. Just before noon, she saw the leprechaun lady
standing on the abandoned market grounds. Butterfly ran to her and quickly gave her
the gold coin.
