In this adaptation of the Grimms' story, children are discovered playing "Ladder words', changing one world to another, a letter at a time, retaining an actual word during each change. Grettle says she can change "flax" into "gold". Unfortunately, the King, whose gold has been mysteriously disappearing, hears this and mistakes it for an actual boast.
