English Summary:
A miller with no heirs promises his mill to the apprentice who brings him the best horse. The youngest apprentice, Hans, is mocked by the others and abandoned in the forest. There, he meets a talking cat who offers him a deal: if he serves her for seven years, she will reward him with a magnificent horse.
Hans works for the cat in an enchanted house, using silver tools to complete tasks. After seven years, she sends him home, still in his ragged clothes, promising to bring his horse in three days. His fellow apprentices, who return with weak horses, mock him.
On the third day, a grand carriage arrives, carrying the cat—now revealed as a princess. She dresses Hans in fine clothes and presents him with a splendid horse. She then reveals a castle he unknowingly built and marries him, making him wealthy and proving that even the "foolish" can rise to greatness.

中文版：
一位磨坊主人承諾，三名學徒中誰能帶回最好的馬，就能繼承磨坊。最小的學徒漢斯被同伴嘲笑並遺棄在森林裡。他遇見一隻會說話的貓，貓承諾若他為她服務七年，將給他一匹無與倫比的駿馬。
漢斯在魔法屋中勞動，使用銀製工具完成各種工作。七年後，貓讓他回家，承諾三天後送來他的馬。漢斯衣衫襤褸地回到磨坊，被帶回虛弱馬匹的同伴恥笑。
第三天，一輛華麗的馬車抵達，貓現身為公主。她為漢斯換上華服，並帶來一匹壯麗的駿馬。她還揭示，漢斯用銀製工具建造的小屋其實是一座城堡。公主與漢斯成婚，讓他富裕一生，證明即便是被視為「愚蠢」的人，也能獲得偉大的成就。
