On the advice of his chief counsel Julius, old Lord Gundolf offers the throne to whichever of his sons brings him the finest carpet. He blows three feathers into the air for the boys to follow.

Both make fun of the youngest, Gustav, whom they call "Simpleton", because his feather flies into a forest.
