When a poor woodcutter called John helps an elf in distress, the elf rewards him with three magic wishes.

As John and Martha sit dreaming about what they could ask for, a chance remark by John prompts the appearance of some sizzling, succulent sausages!

But the argument this causes between the couple leads to a very silly situation, which only their last remaining wish can put right.

Be careful what you wish for - your wish might come true!
