Mother can't be cross with us,

with all the berries we've picked.

I've never made one so lovely before.

Well, Princess,

shall we return to our castle?

All we have to do is follow our royal trail.

Our royal trail of cookie crumbs.

Here's our trail.

-Here's another one.

-There's one.

Look, some more.

There's another one.

And another one.

Where's our trail?

It's gone.

I think we're lost.

Don't say that.

We'll find our way back. I know we will.

Come on.

Oh, what a day, Oh, what a day

Oh, what a happy man am I

Oh, what a bird, Oh, what a breeze

Oh, what a joy to see the sky

How did I know how to be strong?

Where did I find the voice to say?

No, not enough! No, not at all!

No, not again! No, not today

This is how it should be

This is how it is

A man gets what he wants

if he takes what is his

Oh, what a man, Oh, what a man,

Oh, what a noble man am I

Oh, what a tree, Oh, what a leaf

Oh, what a fence, What a cottage

What a flower

What a life

Maria, wake up.

This is no time to take a nap.

Your husband's home

from his long trek to town.

Would you like to see what I bought?

Aren't you glad to welcome me home?

Welcome you home to what?

Nothing but troubles.

I have to keep the house, feed the children.

On what? Nothing.

Well, then let us see

what we have to eat today.

Stephan, I'm in no mood for your jokes.

I'm weary of living.

The cupboard is barren. We have nothing.

Would a large jar of honey

make you less weary of living?

Or wouldn't some flour

fill up our cupboard nicely?

How about some butter?

Butter?

Where did this come from?

I demanded my money from the baker...

and he gave us every last penny he owes us.

Oh, Stephan!

He's a hard man.

Did he give you any trouble?

Yes, well, he put up a bit of a fuss...

but this time I didn't let him off the hook

until I had everything that I came for.

Tea.

Sausage.

Ham.

This must have cost a fortune.

Where are the children?

Those little scallywags.

Do you know what they did?

I left them alone, and while I was gone

they let the donkey into the house.

He ate an entire pan of custard

that I had made.

And broke a pitcher of milk that our

neighbour had given us this very morning.

When I found them playing

with the donkey in the house...

I was so angry with them,

I sent them out to pick berries.

There aren't many berries left on the bushes

by the cottage. We've eaten them all.

Yes, I know. I couldn't find any myself.

But I was so angry.

They should be home by now.

You don't suppose

that they've gone into the....

-The North Woods.

-No, no. They wouldn't have gone there.

I've told them 100 times

not to go anywhere near there.

What have I done?
