Poor King Boyan: his human head sports the ears of a goat. Barber after barber note this fact, to Boyan's dismay, until young Igor calmly accepts the king's anatomical anomaly in stride. Eventually the secret gets out, but the king, released from his self-consciousness by Igor's attitude, no longer cares. Sophisticated collages accompany this engaging tale of self-acceptance.
