There was a Cat who fell in love with a handsome Young Man, and asked Venus to change her into a woman.
"I should think," said Venus, "you might make so petty a change without bothering me. However, be a woman."
Afterward, wishing to see if the change were complete, Venus caused a mouse to appear, whereupon the woman ran to catch the mouse and made such a show of herself that the Young Man would not marry her.
