When he arrives he finds people sweeping dust from the stoops back into their houses and people milking upside down to get more cream.

No one tells him that if he stays over 24 hours and fails to break the curse, he too becomes stupid. But, he has fallen in love with a girl so stupid that she has only recently learned how to sit down.
