The Princess and the Cookie

The Princess and the Cookie is a Sesame Street fairy tale read by Bob in season two.
A hapless king is having troubling finding a husband for his daughter, the small and dainty Princess Eunice. In order to find a suitable mate, they must bring Eunice her favorite treat - cookies, but not just any cookie. Eunice requires a cookie "small and delicate enough for a princess as small and beautiful and delicate as I." Any cookies that don't meet that criteria are met with a resounding "Blech!" from the princess.
The two make their way to the castle where some suitors are awaiting. First comes Prince Pietro with a rather large cookie that Euince rejects. Next enters Prince Percival with a smaller cookie, but he too receives a "Blech!" in response. When a third prince with an even smaller cookie gets rejected, the king starts to lose hope. Suddenly, a baker (Cookie Monster) happens by the palace with a cookie he's baked himself, a very small cookie that meets Eunice's desires. The king declares the baker to be her new husband, which he is not too keen about, until he learns that by marrying the princess, he gets to eat the rejected cookies in return. Bob declares a happy ending for all, at least until Cookie Monster has no more cookies to eat.
