Once upon a time Kate and Jake got into the Fairy Tale Kingdom. And they did not just tour over a bit but got deep into the fairy tale daily life. Jake has begun plumping up quite carelessly, though it was a great delight for everyone around him. There was no decisive view among fairy folk whether it was just natural laziness from Jake’s side or some mix of misfortunes and lack of willpower, that made him constantly gorging on food.
