Illus. in full color. "Bowane, the cat, has asked for the hand of a
beautiful feline and is returning to his future wife's village with a basket of
copper and trinkets. On the way, he invites one friend after another to
accompany him. But delays stall the wedding party--for years--and when the

A cat sets up a marriage for himself and returns to his village to assemble the bride's gift and his wedding party. As they travel back for the wedding, each friend has a reason why he must interrupt the journey. This cumulative tale has a great lesson: sometimes we need to tell our friends "that's not a good idea!" and go our own way.
