When his older sister knocks him down, Andrew shouts "the ugliest bunch of angry words anyone has ever heard." Andrew is immediately sorry and sets out to get the angry words back, but it is too late. Once the angry words are let loose, they travel from person to person until they've affected a poet, a princess, and a fisherman. Luckily, a wise and friendly woman knows just what to do. She bundles up the angry words and tosses them away, replaces them with kind and happy words, and entrusts Andrew to deliver his happy words to everyone he meets.
