Of course many people who want to participate in the contest. But of the many storytellers, not a single story the king had never heard of.
A poor young man in a village wanted to take part in the fairy tale contest by the boy's friend. "Even if we don't win, at least we can eat good food in the palace. Because the king provides delicious food for the contest participants, "said the young man's friend.
Without thinking, the young man went with his friend to the palace. After finishing a good meal, the young man gets his turn to tell stories. The poor young man actually did not know what to tell, until finally he told the story of his life that suffered.
