- A man and his daughter suffer of having no land to farm. To draw the attention of the king, the daughter has the idea to plant a garden on the roof of their hut. When the king notices this, he wants the man to come to him to find out the reason. Not unimpressed by the idea of the daughter, the king fulfills his wish and gives him land. In the meantime, the mother of the King has asked Princess Eulalia, as a possible bride for her son, to come to the castle, since he has to marry in order not to lose the throne to his (incapable) cousin and his (intriguing) wife. The king, however, rejects Eulalia as eleven other princesses, since she is too stupid for him.
