Story
Stewie cannot sleep, so Peter reads him three fairy tales with the people of Quahog in the parts. In Jack and the Beanstalk, Peter's Jack trades the family cow, played by Brian, for magic beans, climbs to the castle in the clouds, takes the golden goose played by Stewie and fells the beanstalk, killing the giant played by Chris. In Little Red Riding Hood, Stewie's Red meets Brian's wolf on the way to Grandma's house, and Peter's woodsman arrives to cut the wolf in half before going on to murder someone else. In Cinderella, Lois takes the title part, with Peter as the prince, Meg and Stewie as the stepsisters and Mayor West as the fairy godmother. Peter then tucks Stewie in.
