In "The Twelve Dancing Princesses," a king is baffled by the nightly disappearance of his twelve daughters, who wake up every morning with their shoes worn out. Determined to uncover their secret, he issues a challenge: anyone who can discover where the princesses go at night will win the hand of one of them and half the kingdom. Many suitors fail, but a clever young soldier, aided by an old woman and a magical cloak, follows the princesses into an enchanted realm. He learns of their nightly adventures and ultimately reveals the truth, changing their lives forever. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
