Cat Marcy, flipping through a French fashion magazine, spotted a beautiful hat with wide brim and rooster feathers on a page.
As she finished looking through the magazine, she decided she absolutely had to sew herself the same hat. Only the little cat didn't know where she could get rooster feathers.
Kitten Vasya advised her to visit Rooster Peter to convince him to give her rooster feathers from his magnificent tail.
Marcy hurries to the Rooster hoping he won't refuse her. Peter greeted the little cat warmly and listened to her request. He said in surprise:
But what about me? If I give you my feathers, I'll look like a hen!
Then Marcy suggested to the rooster:
I'll embroider a silk tail for you myself with colourful threads. You'll like it.
Alright, I'll give you the feathers, but only after you bring me the embroidered tail. I need to try it on.
Peter agreed. Marcy's magical paws worked a miracle: the tail shimmered with all the colours of the rainbow.
Not a tail, but a sight to behold, better than the real thing.
The Rooster marvels, examining the embroidered tail.
Marcy, you've earned the feathers, take them.
Peter offers his feathers wholeheartedly, extending them to the little Cat.
All of Marcy's girlfriends admired her new hat with delight.
