Cretinetti and his two brothers are naturally lazy and the servant experiences great difficulty in waking them. Instead of getting up as all good children do, they simply ignore the morning call and turn from one side to the other and continue their slumber until such time as their mother brings water for their morning toilet. Here's where the fun begins, of which the eldest brother is generally the victim. Excitement in general prevails until the father of the boys takes a hand and marches them off to school. Not enthused over the idea of going to school, the three little vagabonds go along the way and do all the damage they possibly can. One afternoon they manage to steal the medal of good behavior and take it home. Their parents, proud of them, give them many gifts for the attention at school.
