"Tuntud muinasjutuvestjate vendade Grimmide õpetlik muinaslugu räägib sellest, mis juhtub, kui lubadust murtakse ja oma sõna ei peeta. Muinasjutt toob hästi esile sõpruse tähtsuse. Ikka ja alati on aga leidunud inimesi, kes seda hinnata ei oska. Milliseks kujuneb printsessi elu kuningalossis ja kas lugu lõpeb ikka õnnelikult, seda saab igaüks juba ise lugeda."
