Introduction by Ben Haggarty, including
audience suggestions about what to include in a story, followed
by story told by Ben Haggarty. A story of a young King who
marries an ordinary girl instead of a princess, to the disgust of
his mother. When the King is away at war, the new Queen gives
birth to two twin boys with golden hair, which the King's mother
takes away and buries alive; replacing them with two puppies. The
Queen is banished to a dungeon, but where the boys are buried two
trees grow. The boys are then transformed from trees, into a
wooden bed, into fire, into two lambs, and then back into two
newborn boys which are found by a woodsman. The woodsman brings
up the two boys, who then travel to the castle of their father,
where they tell the true story of what occured.
