Once upon a time in a kingdom far far away, it lived the poor but handsome and good hearted butler's son. One day he saw the princess walking alone into the forest, so he decided to take his chance and declare her his love.

The princess smiled at him, took a golden ring off her finger and throws it away. She say that she'll marry him if he could bring her back her ring. The poor but handsome and good hearted butler's son ran after the ring, but it fell into the water, where it was shallowed by a fish. The fish traveled down the river for several days, until it was captured by a fisherman in a nearby village.

- Don't eat me, humble fisherman -- said the fish -- I'm a powerful magician and I can concede you three wishes if you set me free.

But the fisherman was deaf and he was hungry too, so he killed the fish. That night, when he was eating the fish, he bit the ring, loosing his only teeth. Sad for his new circumstances of forced vegetarianism, he put his teeth under the pillow, and the ring at one side of the bed.

When he awoke, he found that the ring had disappeared and under his pillow, instead of a teeth, he found a rock. That was very common in that village, where, if you believed in what people said, its tooth fairy had developed an addiction to the flying dust, and took all she could to get some (in that time the flying dust was very strong, not like the one you can buy today at your sorcerer's store).

The fairy was flying towards her dust provider when she was captured by a peasant blue bird's trap. But when the peasant saw the ring, he took it and trow away the fairy. The peasant gave the ring to his son Jack and sent him to the village to change it for food. The kid returned a couple of hours after with four beanstalk, that happened to be more of the regular kind than magical.

But, let's not be too hard with poor Jack. He found a skilled salesman that convince him with his words... and his sword. In fact, the salesman had grown in the bad side of the village, where you get more with talent and a knife than only with talent.
