Overview

Nothing ever pleases the King—he wants his cook to create more exotic dishes, his gardener to plant rarer flowers, and his tailor to sew more stylish clothes. One day, the King decides to offer his daughter's hand in marriage to the person who can bring him the most beautiful gift of all. This is a tale of a King who is so blinded by greed that he puts his desire for "more" above his daughter's happiness. A simple shepherd boy helps the King to see the error of his ways, and in doing so wins the heart and hand of the young princess.
