A king who does not have much to think about raises a flea until it becomes as big as a lamb, then has it skinned and offers his daughter as a reward to anyone who is able to recognise its skin. An ogre identifies it by smell and takes the princess, but she is freed by the seven sons of an old woman after seven trials.

An Italian fairy tale written in 1634 by Giambasttista Basile.
