Many, many years ago, there lived a miller with his beautiful daughter. He lied to his king, telling him that she could spin straw into gold. The young woman was immediately taken to the king's castle and told that she must spin the straw into gold by the next day or she would die! After the door closed behind her, a little man entered during the night, who was skilled in the art she had been praised for...

Assad, a young Turk, meets a boy who tells him about a princess who was enchanted by an evil sorcerer. In a jeweler’s shop, the young man finds a precious ring in which he sees the princess who is imprisoned in it. He takes the ring and from now on is hunted by the authorities for his crime. But he has fallen in love with the princess and wants to free her from her prison, but doesn't know how to break the spell. Only the princess knows the secret, but she's not allowed to tell.

Once upon a time, there was a young prince who wanted to fulfill his greatest wish: to marry a princess! One night, there was a violent storm, and someone knocked on the castle gate. A princess stood before the king, who opened the door. She was soaked to the skin and did not look noble at all, but she insisted that she was a real princess. Not wanting to see her son unhappy again, the queen devised a plan. She prepared a bed for the young woman with mountains of mattresses and blankets, but placed a pea on the floor. In the morning, the princess wakes up feeling terribly bruised, having slept on something hard all night.
