Category Archives: The Printer’s Daughter

The customer arrives with instructions to the father that he needs his scroll reproduced. It\’s not to be distributed to anyone else and all faulty copies must be destroyed. The words must never be read allowed or surely the customer would know right away and would be extremely angry with the printer. The daughter is in another room and overhears the customer. Although her father wants to handle the project himself, she insists on helping. When he is not looking, she cannot resist reading the words allowed to see what will happen. Chaos ensues! A series of comical things occur in the shop and in the girl’s village as the consequences of her actions come to fruition. Every time she says something, her words result in something or someone converting into something else. She can’t explain what’s happening to her because every time she tries to get help, the person ends up getting changed. When the entire village is turned upside-down, the customer gets wind of it and reverses the spell. It turns out he’s part of an ancient society of pranksters! The customer is angry but can’t help laughing at the girl and the mess she calls. He invites her and her father to become honorary members of their society.
