The Princess Bride (1987) is a fairytale that a grandfather reads to his grandson, who is ill and bedridden. The boy doesn't like romance stories, rather action stories, and doesn't want a "kissing book." But he also doesn't want to hurt his grandfather's feelings so he dutifully listens as his grandfather reads.
The grandson may think it will be a far reach for him to like the story, so bring your TOTT!
