The Magician and King Rollo encounter a farmer, who is sitting down to a lunch of just bread.

King Rollo gets some new shoes and is proudly showing them off. He soon runs into trouble though when it comes to tying the laces. At first, the Magician helps, but he later refuses to do up the laces (off with his head).

King Rollo meets a dog and decides to keep him. All is fun and games until King Rollo learns that keeping a pet is a job that requires a lot of responsibility.

When King Rollo's comic arrives with the post, he ignores everything and everyone around him. He is becoming obsessed with the comic and must be taught a lesson or two.

King Rollo avoids bath time, too busy with distractions. Cook insists, but it takes the magician’s magic to finally get the reluctant king into the tub.

The Cook is ill and cannot make breakfast as she is laid up in bed. King Rollo realises that he will have to make his own breakfast but how will he cope without the sensible Cook to watch over him. As per usual, Hamlet is ever watchful.
