Schwan kleb an

When the youngest son had to put up with too much of his older brothers, an old woman advised him to pull away at sunset and take the swan with her, which is tied to the tree next to a sleeper. Whenever someone wanted to pluck one of the beautiful feathers, he had to "Swan, stick on!" say and the thief was stuck. Only when the young man touched the thief with the stick he received from the old woman did the spell break.
Gradually more and more stuck to the swan and so they moved to the castle to make the princess laugh. Because she had never laughed. Will the princess be able to laugh at the funny team?
