Based on a Gypsy Folk tale, this story begins when a mother runs away from her abusive husband and takes her two sons with her. While camping in the forest the eldest son stumbles upon a troop of thieves who plan to break into the castle and rob the King of all his wealth and his only daughter. The eldest son overhears this and befriends the thieves, pretending he will help them. The young man is sent over the fence of the castle first to scope out the grounds and bring back anything of worth. While he is in the castle, he sees the Princess asleep and falls in love with her. He cannot help himself and tears the golden bed sheet that protects the Princess. When he gets to the fence, he tells the thieves to crawl through a crack in the fence one at a time, and one by one he beheads them. Months later the Princess is pregnant but does not know the father of her child. She offers free food and drink to the men who come to eat at her table in an attempt to find the father of her child. When she looks into the eyes of the forester's eldest son she knows it is him she seeks. Multimedia art.
