The Queen always wears a beautiful dress which reaches all the way to the ground,
though it has far less pleats than the King’s dress does, for so much fabric could easily
make her trip! On her head is a very tiny beret with a very tiny crown. Not a big
crown, for that would make her hair untidy and give the royal hairdressers an even
bigger task to get it curled properly each morning.

Princess Butterfly wears dresses smooth as silk that dance in the wind. But when it’s
cold and rainy, she much prefers to wear her cool jeans with a big sweater and her
boots, so that her feet stay nice and dry when she plays outside.

I am the royal cat and as you’ve maybe already noticed, I wear very beautiful boots. I
will tell you how I got them.
On a windy, wet day, princess Butterfly took me outside to catch frogs. Brrr, it was
very cold and wet! Yuck, I did not like it at all. My paws got completely wet and
quickly covered in mud. After a while I even started to sneeze.

“Oh dear,” said Butterfly, “I hope you don’t fall ill with the cat flu, if you do we’ll all
be in bed with the sneezes! Father will be so grumpy… Hurry on back inside and I’ll
get you a nice warm jug of water and tuck you in. You’ll be better tomorrow and we
can resume our frog hunt then.”
