あらすじ・解説
In "The Lad Who Lost The Christmas Cake," young Peter is entrusted by his mother to deliver a precious, specially baked Christmas cake to his aunt in another village, armed with elaborate instructions on how to conceal its contents. Distracted by a captivating roadside juggler, Peter momentarily leaves his bag unattended and inadvertently swaps it with an identical bag containing a heavy grindstone. When confronted by the grindstone's angry owner, confusion ensues until the juggler reappears and, through a supposed magical spell (though likely just correcting the accidental swap), restores the cake to Peter, allowing the relieved lad to finally complete his mission, forever convinced he witnessed real magic.
