endeavour to complete their work. Then you will
           go into the kitchen, where other cats are doing
           their house work: help them as you did with the
           others. Then you will hear them calling
           Mammone Cat, and all the cats will tell him what
           you did for them. Mammone will ask you, 'What
           do you like for breakfast, brown bread and onions
           or white bread and cheese?’ and you should
           answer at once: 'brown bread and onions.' Then
           they will give you white bread and cheese. After
           this, Mammone will invite you to climb up a
           wonderful stairway made entirely of crystal; be
           careful not to break it, or even to crack it a little.
           When you are upstairs pay attention to choose
           always the worst one among the things that the
           fairies will give you.
