“When I Have Eaten My Cat.”
“THE MILLER GAVE HIS CAT TO HIS YOUNGEST SON.”
There was a miller who had three sons, and when he died he divided what he possessed among them in the following manner: He gave the mill to the eldest, his ass to the second, and his cat to the youngest. . . The poor young fellow who had nothing but the cat complained that he was hardly used: “My brothers,” said he, “by joining their stocks together may do well in the world, but for me, when I have eaten my cat and made a fur cap of his skin, I may soon die of hunger!”

All The Bric-A-Brac in Motion.
The Nurnberg Stove by Louisa de la Rame
Illustrated by Maria L. Kirk
J. B. Lippincott Company: Philadelphia and London. 1916.
Midnight was once more chiming from all the brazen tongues of the city when he awoke, and, all being still around him, ventured to put his head out of the brass door of the stove to see why such a strange bright light was round him.
It was a very strange and brilliant light indeed; and yet, what is perhaps still stranger, it did not frighten or amaze him, nor did what he saw alarm him either, and yet I think it would have done you or me. For what he saw was nothing less than all the bric-a-brac in motion.
