Today we're in Ireland to meet a cotter's son who is VERY good at winning card games. He'll win himself a castle, some cattle, a wife, and a dog, and live happily for several years and days. But when his luck runs out and he loses, he'll have to complete a seemingly-impossible errand. A dragon, a giant, a tiny king, a hot griddle, and a half-slim champion later, and he might finally get to enjoy the fruits of his gambling.
