ASMR Whispered Fairytale | Numskull Jack by Hans Christian Andersen | Bedtime Story

[00:00:06]Hello there and welcome to my channel.

[00:00:10]My name is Marie.

[00:00:12]Today I'm going to softly whisper you a fairy tale and it is from this book.

[00:00:19]Hence Christian Anison fairy tales with original art by Casper Kupka. book.

[00:00:29]Yes. So, let's take a look inside the book and see which fairy tale.

[00:00:51]Num sculpt check. That is a long time since I've heard that one. Num skull check page 120.

[00:01:01]So let's find that at the end way back.

[00:01:16]Here it is. Num skull check.

[00:01:19]And I'll just show you the drawing here on the front.

[00:01:26]page.

[00:01:31]Yes.

[00:01:34]Numb skull Jack.

[00:01:38]Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who had two bright sons.

[00:01:44]They were going to propose to the king's daughter as she had announced that she would marry the wittiest and best spoken man in the whole kingdom.

[00:01:58]The two brothers were very clever and knowledgeable.

[00:02:03]One had read all the books in the entire wide world and the other brother was very skilled.

[00:02:14]There was nothing he could not make or mend. Their father gave them each a magnificent horse, and both oiled their mouths to smooth their tongues.

[00:02:31]As they mounted their steeds, their younger brother suddenly appeared.

[00:02:40]No one thought much of him. He knew next to nothing and that is why everybody called him Num Skull Jack.

[00:02:52]"Where are you going?" he asked.

[00:02:56]His brothers told him about the king's daughter, and Jack asked if he could go with them, but they just laughed at him and rode off.

[00:03:11]Father, I want a horse, too, and marry the king's daughter, whether she wants to or not.

[00:03:21]But the father [clears throat] did not allow him a horse.

[00:03:25]"You've never been particularly articulate," he reasoned.

[00:03:41]But Numskull Jack was not going to let himself be put off that easily.

[00:03:48]He settled for the old Billy Goat and pursued his brothers in a gallop.

[00:03:57]"Hello, here I come," called Jack.

[00:04:02]"Look what I found. A dead crow.

[00:04:07]A fine present for a king's daughter.

[00:04:12]You must be crazy, his brothers replied and rode on.

[00:04:20]Hello, here I come. Jack got his brothers up again.

[00:04:27]This time he had found an old wooden clock to give to the princess.

[00:04:36]"You really are completely mad," the brothers retorted and rode away quickly.

[00:04:49]Here we have Num Skulljack on his Billy Goat with all the fine things he has found for the princess.

[00:05:01]Hello, here I come [clears throat] once again. Jack got up with his brothers.

[00:05:08]His pockets were bulging with mud.

[00:05:13]This will please my princess, he cried.

[00:05:17]How disgusting! His brothers exclaimed, riding off as fast as they could.

[00:05:26]They reached town before Jack.

[00:05:30]In the center of the town stood row upon row of young men who wanted to marry the princess.

[00:05:40]The castle was surrounded by all the country's inhabitants standing so close to each other that they could barely move their arms.

[00:05:53]Packed they were as so many sardines.

[00:05:59]One after the other, the young hopefuls entered and all were struck dumb when they saw the king's beautiful daughter.

[00:06:13]No good, she said. Next.

[00:06:20]At every window in the hall, there were newspaper reporters writing down all the ridiculous answers for all to read.

[00:06:33]Then it was time for the first brother to show his abilities, the bookish one.

[00:06:42]He was sweaty and dreadfully nervous.

[00:06:47]Golly, it sure is warm in here, he started.

[00:06:52]Yes, we're roasting chickens, said the king's daughter.

[00:06:58]Oh, ye, he answered.

[00:07:02]And and [clears throat] could not find any witty answer.

[00:07:17]No good. Away with him dismissed the king's daughter.

[00:07:25]In went the second brother, mumbling about the heat.

[00:07:32]Yes, we're roasting chickens, said the king's daughter.

[00:07:38]Oh, e what? he said.

[00:07:42]And the reporters wrote, "O Eat."

[00:07:48]The king's daughter waved an impatient hand, saying, "No good. Away with him."

[00:08:04]In rode Jack on his billy goat.

[00:08:09]Core. It's like an oven in here, he said.

[00:08:13]That's because they've been roasting chickens today.

[00:08:18]Well, then I can have my crow cooked as well. I've brought my own pot, said a cheerful Jack, and put the crow into the wooden clock.

[00:08:34]You've got enough for a whole meal there.

[00:08:39]But where will we find the sauce? asked the king's daughter.

[00:08:44]In my pocket, replied Jack and pulled up a handful of nut.

[00:08:52]I like you. You are funny and you speak well.

[00:08:59]You are the husband for me.

[00:09:05]But do you know that everything we say will be in the newspapers in the morning?

[00:09:12]Jack was not aware of that, but he was quick to reply.

[00:09:18]Well, then I'd better give them something funny to take down.

[00:09:23]And then he threw a blob of mud at the reporters.

[00:09:29]Well done, said the king's daughter, laughing.

[00:09:35]And so Numkulljack became king and won himself a throne and a wife.

[00:09:43]At least it said so in the newspapers.

[00:09:47]But then again, you never really know with newspapers.

[00:09:55][snorts] And I'll just show you the painting here.

[00:10:02]of Numsko. Jack and the princess.

[00:10:05]Jack throwing the mud.

[00:10:22]So that is all for today. Thank you so much for watching. I really hope you found this relaxing.

[00:10:37]I wish you a wonderful and peaceful sleep and I'll see you again in my next video very, very soon. Goodbye.
