Synopsis

Polly was summoned before King Cup, who decreed that she should bake five hundred cakes. Though the cakes were pleasing, they proved insufficient for the king and his court. He then commanded Polly to produce five thousand. Attempting to meet this new demand, she began mixing in a bowl of enormous size. Overcome with weariness, she stumbled and fell within the bowl, perilously close to its churning blades.
