Description
A young boy spots sweets and treats on the kitchen table. In a classic fairy-tale quest, he imagines himself a brave hero who must outwit ferocious dragons and formidable guardians in order to partake of such a treasure. Caught and sent to the dungeon (his bedroom), the boy is surprised when the afternoon ends so unexpectantly happily.
