Hmm....

Jack and the beanstalk?

hmm, nope.

the emperor's new clothes.

....is my best guess.

Someone who is definitely spoiled.

the chair is looking rather pleased with itself (while serving an unexpected guest).

Beauty and the Beast. The merchant father coming back without any riches, found the uninhabited castled where he is welcomed by an unknown and unseen host. His horse finds hay int the stable, the merchant finds fire lit and food on the table... The beast is kind too; it only gets angry when the father picks up a rose from the garden without permission.

Ahhhhhh

StereoNacht: yes! The unseen host!

StereoNacht: You are right! Thank you! Illustrated by Gordon Browne, by the way.
