The rat fulfilled the request of the servant, but, after a long time preening herself in front of the mirror, she thought that the beautiful Cat would eclipse her with its attractiveness, so she did not wake up Kate, who loved to sleep. The servant, instead of the Cat, had to lead to the emperor the first who got in his way, not distinguished by the beauty of the Pig, who took the last - twelfth place. Aspirations of the Rat to be the best were crowned with success - she won first place. When the Cat woke up, it ran at full speed, but it was too late.
