The Worn Out Shoes
All is not going well for the King – he decides to take drastic action to curb his many daughters’ spending habits.
Every night the King’s 12 daughters are supposed to be sleeping but every morning their shoes are ruined. To solve this mystery the king declares that the person who uncovers their secret can marry the princess of his choice. A number try unsuccessfully but then a soldier comes along who sees things very differently – can he restore much needed balance and compassion to a kingdom in crisis.
