The Boy Who Drew Cats

Written by Lafcadio Hearn

Narrated by Jason Sullivan

A farmer's son has no interest in hard work, he wants to draw all day! His favorite thing to draw? Cats! He draws cats on fences and walls, on paper, and on doors. Sent to become a priest, he keeps drawing and gets kicked out. He travels to a temple in the next village over and finds out it's being terrorized by a giant goblin rat, and it's coming for him! This Japanese folktale by Lafcadio Hearn has enchanted readers for more than a century.
