A prince who always has to have the last word on everything is offered for marriage, along with half the kingdom, to any girl who can shut him up. Three poor sisters try their luck. On their way to the palace the youngest sister collects a dead black bird, a stick, a saucer, some ram's horns and other miscellany from the roadside.
