The Princess Who Never Laughed2:35 – 4:31

Adam GidwitzHost

2:35

All right.

Adam GidwitzHost

2:35

Well, you guys have been waiting for a while

P

PanelistPanelist

2:37

[laughs]

Adam GidwitzHost

2:37

But now we are ready.

P

PanelistPanelist

2:39

Yay.

Adam GidwitzHost

2:39

So-

P

PanelistPanelist

2:40

Yay.

Adam GidwitzHost

2:40

Woo-hoo.

P

PanelistPanelist

2:42

Woo!

Adam GidwitzHost

2:42

This story is a story by the Brothers Grimm, and it is called The Golden Goose.

Adam GidwitzHost

2:45

[upbeat music] Once upon a time, there was a king.

Adam GidwitzHost

2:50

This king had a daughter so stone-cold serious she never, ever laughed.

Adam GidwitzHost

2:56

Not as a baby, not as a kid, not as a teenager, never.

P

PanelistPanelist

3:01

What?

Adam GidwitzHost

3:02

Right?

P

PanelistPanelist

3:02

That sounds depressing.

Adam GidwitzHost

3:03

[laughs] It does sound depressing.

P

PanelistPanelist

3:06

Yeah.

Adam GidwitzHost

3:06

So the king issued a decree, which means he made an announcement, and the decree said...

Adam GidwitzHost

3:11

Any guesses? What do you think the decree said? What did the king announce?

P

PanelistPanelist

3:16

I think, I think it said, um, that if, um, if anybody can make my daughter laugh, they can marry her.

Adam GidwitzHost

3:25

How did you know that?

P

PanelistPanelist

3:26

[laughs] Every Grimm fairy tale basically has that.

Adam GidwitzHost

3:31

And the decree said, "Whosoever can make my daughter, the princess, laugh can marry her." Because in Grimm fairy tales, kings are always promising that people can marry their daughters without ever even asking their daughters.

Adam GidwitzHost

3:44

Not fair, right?
