    Brief Synopsis

    A fairy tale about a baker and his wife who are childless, but learn from a witch that they will conceive -- if they bring her a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, hair as yellow as corn and a slipper as pure as gold. After meeting Jack (of Beanstalk fame), Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Cinderella, they get what they want. So does the foursome -- but still all the characters somehow aren't satisfied. Then they must fight a seemingly undefeatable enemy before they can live happily ever after, and find much meaning as a result of their fight.
