Puss in Boots
Puss in Boots is a classic fairytale, written by the French
writer Charles Perault (1628-1703) although there have been many
variations of this story from different countries. The moral of this
story is as follows.
It's a pleasant thing I'm told,
To be left a pile of gold,
But there's something better still,
Never yet bequethed by will,
Leave a lad a stock of sense-
Though wither neither pounds nor pence-
And he'll finish as a rule,
Richer than the guilded fool.
