A princess does not want to marry and lead the life of a traditional queen who wears lace-trimmed dresses, talks in a soft voice and eats daintily.

She does this until a real rooster comes to her aid, and teaches her that "you can do anything you want to do and still be a rooster under the table."

The child's life revolves around the poplar tree in front of Grandpa's house, the big bulldog, Mack, who runs in the back, and Grandpa himself. One by one each of the three dies. As Grandpa chops the poplar for firewood, he shows the child how the world is made of opposites. You can't have left without right, up without down or birth without death. The lesson repeats as they bury Mack, and again when Grandpa dies. The child learns that everything dies, but we still have our memories.
