Bored just sitting around their garden over breakfast, three princesses decide to swap "jobs" with their servants.

The next morning, when the princesses find themselves appreciating the fruits of their own labors they decide that a proclamation is in order: "Rest when you are tired. Eat when you are hungry..." and many other necessary and wonderful rules. Will life ever be the same again in this princessdom by the sea?
