Ottilie is poor and has no toys or luxuries, but she is content with her simple life. One day, a wealthy merchant comes to the village and gives Ottilie a beautiful Nurnberg stove as a gift. The stove is a marvel of craftsmanship, with intricate carvings and a glowing fire that seems to come alive. Ottilie is overjoyed and spends all her time admiring and tending to the stove.
