A puppet picture from the series about Krakonos, the Spirit of Mountains. In Jizernice village a pub keeper earned money by renting an old, half-fallen-apart barn to the local authorities to use it as school. Spirit of Mountains punished him for his stinginess and dishonesty by making him break some eggs and scramble them for his own children. And what was Spirit of Mountains' advice to the Jizernice villagers? Let them build a new school.
