Princess Apolejka lives in a high tower. To get to her chamber, you have to take a winding staircase comprised of 176 steps, which is why Apolejka does not like going down to the garden. She often watches the world from the window of her tower. One time, she hears someone whistling. Through the window, she notices a Chimney Sweep drinking water from the well. Before the girl decides to run to the garden, she looks out the window once more and then, to her surprise, she sees the Donkey instead of the Chimney Sweep, and after a while ... again, the Chimney Sweep, who returns to the city eating an apple.
