 The culmination of Golden Goose and The Magic Swan, where the goose or swan causes other characters to stick to each other, is that the sight causes a princess to laugh for the first time, resulting, as in this story, in her marriage.Peruonto and the frame story of Giambattista Basile, however, combine it with a curse, caused by the angry person laughed at, to force the princess to marry someone.A Sesame Street Book Club book entitled The Sesame Street Alphabet Storybook (which interspersed different objects starting with subsequent letters into infamous stories as told by Sesame Street characters) included a quick telling of "The Princess who Never Laughed" using a xylophone and yo-yo's (X and Y) as props used by two people trying to make the princess laugh to no avail.
