Let me think how it goes... [he'll consider where it began and ended, filling in the middle in his mind]
There's a peasant boy whose a humble, but talented worker. His boss sets out a bag of coins each year and lets the boy take as many as he likes, but he only takes one each year. I think he loses the coins in a well the first two years, but on the third they float back up, leaving him with three gold coins.
He decides to go exploring and a mouse asks him to spare a coin, which he gives. He gives his other two away to a beetle and a catfish. I'm not really sure why animals need gold, but that's how it goes. [oh, fairy tales....]
The boy later finds a princess in a castle, after he's given away his small fortune. She's beautiful, but has never smiled or laughed, her whole life. Her father is desperate to make her happy so he gives her everything a King can, but she's not amused. When the boy sees her, he is so startled he falls in the mud! The mouse, beetle, and catfish appear to try and help the boy, but instead they all flounder about, with the princess watching. She smiles and then laughs at him!
