One day, Ball was at home, watching cartoons and munching on cookies his mom had baked.
Suddenly, he heard a knock at the door.
Peeking through the crack, he saw it was Handsome Cat. He quickly opened the door.
“Where are your mom and dad?” Handsome asked.
“They went to visit Grandpa and Grandma. I’m home alone today,” Ball replied.
“Great! Let’s go play outside the Cat Castle!” Handsome Cat exclaimed.
Ball jumped up with excitement. Playing outside the Cat Castle was his favorite thing to do.
So, they closed the door, and Handsome led Ball outside the castle.
Before long, they were standing outside.
But then, Ball heard someone calling his name. The voice sounded strangely familiar.
Turning around, Ball was stunned to see another Handsome Cat approaching.
He looked from the Handsome Cat holding his hand to the one walking toward them, his mouth agape in surprise.
To his shock, there were two Handsome Cats.
He pulled his hand away, a sense of fear creeping in, and asked, “Who are you? Which one of you is the real Handsome?”
The two Handsome Cats almost simultaneously answered, “I am the real Handsome, he’s the impostor!”
Ball looked back and forth between the two, utterly confused.
They looked identical, and he couldn’t tell who was real and who was fake.
After a moment of thought, Ball said, “Alright, Handsome can fly and transform to anyone. Both of you, transform into eagles to prove who you are.”
The Handsome Cat who had just stopped Ball said, “No problem!”
Then he immediately turned into an eagle.
Ball turned to the Handsome Cat who had taken him outside the Cat Castle and asked, “What about you? You claimed to be Handsome—transform into an eagle!”
At that moment, the Handsome Cat smirked and ripped off the mask from his face.
Ball gasped in shock as he realized it was the Big Bad Wolf.
Terrified, he jumped behind the real Handsome Cat, seeking protection.
The Wolf chuckled darkly and said, “You got lucky this time, but we’ll meet again!”
With that, he walked away.
As it happened, the wolf had planned to kidnap Ball and hold him hostage in Wolf Castle. But Handsome Cat swapped Ball with a tiger, and the wolf ended up getting beaten by the tiger.
However, the wolf was not willing to give up. He still wanted to kidnap Ball.
After some thought, the wolf came up with a new plan.
Although he couldn’t transform into another form like Handsome Cat, the wolf was a master of disguise
Makeup had been a family tradition for wolves, just like in the Grimm fairy tale of the Wolf and the seven Little Kids, where the Big Bad Wolf was skilled at disguises.
So, he disguised himself as Handsome Cat and sneaked into Cat Castle, hoping to deceive Ball.
When he found Ball home alone, he was overjoyed.
He took Ball out of Cat Castle, heading toward Wolf Castle with plans to kidnap him.
But then, they unexpectedly ran into the real Handsome Cat, who exposed the wolf’s deception.
Ball, realizing the truth, broke out in a cold sweat.
He turned to Handsome and said, “Big Handsome, thank goodness you arrived in time! If you’d been any later, I would have been tricked into going to Wolf Castle.”
Handsome Cat replied, “This time, you showed some cleverness yourself by figuring out how to tell the real Handsome from the fake one.”
