The Practical Princess And Other Liberating Fairy Tales
“He lived in an enormous house with forty-four rooms, and he had nine cooks, twelve housemaids, four butlers, sixteen helpers, and a young man named Fred who did everything that was left over.
Fred was good-looking and bright, but he was very absentminded. This was because his head was full of music. When he should have been thinking about his job, he was thinking of songs instead, and when he should have been working, he was playing on his flute. If Bumberdumble Pott said to him, “Fred, thr...ow out the rubbish and hang up my coat,” Fred was just as apt to throw away the coat and hang up the rubbish.
In spite of this, Bumberdumble liked him and so did everyone else, because he was merry, kind, friendly, and always polite.
One day, Bumberdumble called together all the servants in the great hall of his house. Standing on the staircase where everyone could see and hear him, he said, “As you all know, I am the richest man in the land.”MoreLess
