A lazy, dim-witted boy who can never do anything right makes a sad princess laugh, thereby winning her hand
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
A mournful princess sits at her castle window. Meanwhile, Jack (probably the laziest person in the world) is sent out to work by his mother. On his first day, he is paid a shiny coin, but he drops it on the way home. “You should have put it in your pocket!” cries his mother. So the next day, having worked for the dairyman, he pours the jug of milk he is given in payment into his pocket! As he continues to follow his mother’s most recent advice about bringing home the day’s earnings, more ridiculous scenarios ensue. But carrying home the donkey makes even the mournful princess laugh, and that is a good thing indeed! Ages 3–6.
