Frederick Knick-Knack,
the merchant of matches
and peddler of dreams, has a dilemma.
He must find the perfect gift.
Will it be the pea, perhaps a little squashed, from the PRINCESS AND THE PEA?
Perhaps a small round bell,
formerly owned by a ravishing cherub?
Or will it be a troop of elephants,
as small as specks of sand?
Or the Mona Lisa's beauty spot?
