Wusler und Sumser. Der kleine König hat entdeckt, dass Fliegen und Wespen seine Küchenabfälle mögen. Kurzerhand kippt er seinen ganzen Biomüll vor die Haustür. Denn der verschwindet da ganz von allein. Denkt er. Doch schon sehr bald hat er mehr Freunde als ihm lieb ist – nicht nur draußen, sondern auch IM Schloss. Er will den Biestern das Betreten des ganzen Königreichs verbieten. Aber damit sind seine Tierfreunde nicht einverstanden.

Er entführt es kurzerhand auf den höchsten Baum, wo Ein- und Eichhörnchen engumschlungen auf die Königskinder herabschauen. Was nun? "Der Pustekuchen": Der Erzähler mahnt zur Ordnung und unterstützt das mit vielen Floskeln und Redewendungen. Der kleine König ist genervt und bezweifelt, dass es Wörter wie Krimskrams, Tohuwabohu und andere überhaupt gibt. Da er eine Idee. Und schlägt mit gleichen Waffen zurück.

Deshalb will der kleine König der kleinen Prinzessin nahebringen, dass es nicht nur schlechte – sondern auch auch ein gute Lauts - und jede Menge doofes Leise gibt! Keine leichte Aufgabe.
