Puss in Boots

Haiga says

Let's settle in and begin.

Once there was a miller who had three sons. When he passed away, he left them a mill, a donkey, and a clever cat. The youngest son, feeling sad about his inheritance, discovered that his cat, named Puss, was full of surprises. With a pair of boots and a pouch, Puss helped his master become the marquis of Carabas and win the heart of a beautiful princess.
