Boots Who Made the Princess Say, That's a Story is a Norwegian Fairy Tale collected by Asbjørnsen and Moe.A princess lied all the time. The king declared that whoever got her to say of a tale, "That's a story" would have her to wife and half the kingdom. Many people tried. Three brothers tried, and the first two failed, and the youngest, Boots, began. They trade fantastic stories about the size of their farmsAdvertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Boots tells an enormous Tall Tale about an adventure, and concludes that he found the king cobbling shoes, and his mother boxed the king on the ears.Full text here. |

I Take Offense to That Last One!: The reason why the princess loses the contest. The translation provided here doesn't really capture the joke too well; in the original Norwegian text, Boots finishes his story with how his mother boxed the King's ears so that his dandruff flew off — whereupon the princess, somewhat indignantly, says: "That's a lie! My father never had dandruff!" |
