Happy Jack Book

I've never heard of this folktale -- basically Happy Jack is a bumbling fool. His mother sends him to work, but he's incapable of adjusting his actions based on the situation, so he does exactly what his mother tells him to, which each day results in a mess, because each day is different. But finally his idiocy makes the mayor's daughter laugh, and since the mayor's daughter was previously sad, the mayor pays Jack a ton of money as a reward. Also they get married. Which is just like a folk tale!
