When Basket Weaver is ordered to weave a bed for the Empress's new baby, he worries that the Emperor won't find it good enough. The Emperor is delighted, however, when he discovers the weaver's cat, Catches Many Mice, inside the basket. The story, told in a formal folktale-like voice and accompanied by lush paintings of an unspecified Asian setting, chronicles the weaver's courage in asking for a just reward.
