The Mouse,The Bird And The Sausage

Once upon a time, the Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage lived happily together. The Bird brings home wood from the forest; the Mouse delivers water, makes the cooking fire, lays the table; and the Sausage cooks.
One day, the Bird has a chat with some other birds. They make fun of the Bird, saying that it was doing all the work. The next day, the Bird suggests that they switch roles and refuses to go to the forest. The Mouse and the Sausage oppose the idea at first, but in the end, they give in. The Bird now is responsible for bringing home the water, the Mouse cooks, and the Sausage goes to the forest to collect wood.
The Sausage leaves to gather wood in the forest early in the morning but does not come home again. The Bird gets worried and starts looking for it. Soon, it finds a dog, who has attacked and eaten the Sausage. The Bird is going to accuse the dog, but the dog lies and says that the Sausage was carrying a lot of forged letters with him, and therefore it needs to be punished. The Bird cannot argue, so it goes home and tells the Mouse what has happened. They decide to do their best together from now on.
The Mouse starts to cook. It imitates the Sausage, rolling himself in the pot to mix and season the food. However, the Mouse cannot stand the heat and dies. The Bird comes home from the forest. It panics as it cannot find the Mouse and starts throwing the wood here and there. It yells and searches, but suddenly the wood catches fire.

Frau Trude


The fairy tale Frau Trude originated in Germany. Its main characters are a disobedient little girl and a witch named Frau Trude. The main theme in this story is that children should listen to their parents. Although she has a loving mother and father who try to protect her, this girl chooses to ignore their advice and ends up paying for her decision.

One lesson in this fairy tale is that parents know best. When their daughter wants to visit Frau Trude's house, they warn her that the woman is evil. Instead of listening, though, the little girl sets off on the trip. She sees several strange people on Frau Trude's steps and then notices a devil inside the house. This demonic figure is Frau Trude, who transforms the girl into wood and burns her in a fire.

The story's message is that strangers should not be trusted. The little girl has good reasons to be frightened of Frau Trude, since she has heard scary things about her and has been warned by her parents. However, she disregards everything she has been told because of her own obstinacy.

Bearskin

A man was a soldier, but when war ended, his parents were dead, and his brothers had no place for him.

A green-coated man with a cloven hoof appeared to him and offered to make him rich if he would for seven years not cut his hair, clip his nails, bathe, or pray, and wear a coat and cloak that he would give him. At the end, if he survived, he would be rich and free; if he died during the time, the devil would have him. The desperate soldier agreed, and the devil gave him the green coat, telling him he would find its pockets full of money, and then a bearskin, telling him that he had to sleep in it and would be known as Bearskin because of it.

Bearskin set out, and gave much money to the poor that they would pray for him, to live out the seven years. After several years, he grew so hideous that he had to pay heavily to get any shelter. In the fourth year, he heard an old man lamenting, and persuaded him to tell his tale: he had lost all his money, did not know how to provide for his daughters, and could not pay the innkeeper, so he would be sent to jail. Bearskin paid the innkeeper and gave the old man a purse of gold as well.

The old man said that he would marry him to one of his daughters in gratitude. The oldest ran away, screaming, from the sight; the middle one said he was worse than a bear that had tried to pass itself off as human; the youngest one agreed to fulfill her father's promise. Bearskin gave her half a ring and promised to return in three years. Her sisters ridiculed her at length.

At the end of the seven years, Bearskin found the devil again and demanded he fulfill his promise. Clean and with his money, he dressed himself as a fine gentleman and went to the old man's house, where the older sisters served him, and his bride, dressed in black, showed no reaction to him. He told the old man that he would marry one of his daughters. The two older sisters ran off to dress splendidly, and Bearskin dropped his half of the ring into a winecup and gave it to his bride. She drank it and realized that he was her bridegroom.

They married. One sister hung herself in rage, and the other drowned herself, and the devil knocked on the door to tell Bearskin that he had gotten two souls instead of Bearskin's one.

Sweet Porridge

There was a poor but good little girl who lived alone with her mother, and they no longer had anything to eat. So the child went into the forest, and there an aged woman met her who was aware of her sorrow, and presented her with a little pot, which when she said, "Cook, little pot, cook," would cook good, sweet porridge, and when she said, "Stop, little pot," it ceased to cook.

The girl took the pot home to her mother, and now they were freed from their poverty and hunger, and ate sweet porridge as often as they chose. Once on a time when the girl had gone out, her mother said, "Cook, little pot, cook." And it did cook and she ate until she was satisfied, and then she wanted the pot to stop cooking, but did not know the word.

 So it went on cooking and the porridge rose over the edge, and still it cooked on until the kitchen and whole house were full, and then the next house, and then the whole street, just as if it wanted to satisfy the hunger of the whole world, and there was the greatest distress, but no one knew how to stop it. At last when only one single house remained, the child came home and just said, "Stop, little pot," and it stopped and gave up cooking, and whosoever wished to return to the town had to eat their way back.

The story is also well known by the name of "The Magic Porridge Pot"

The Fisherman and His Wife

The Fisherman and his Wife is one of the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales. It is the story of a poor fisherman and his wife who lived in deep poverty. One day the fisherman was out doing his job when he caught a flounder. To his great surprise, the flounder spoke to him, begging to be released and explaining that he was really a prince. The fisherman let him go and went home. When his wife found out what had happened, she was angry at her husband for not asking the prince for something. She demanded that he go back and ask for a hut for them to live in.

The flounder granted the wish, and the fisherman came home to a pretty little hut with a nice little yard. He was very happy, but his wife was soon dissatisfied. She had her husband go back again and ask for a castle. The husband was not willing, but she finally wore him down. He asked, and his request was granted. A huge castle complete with servants was waiting for him when he arrived back home; however, it wasn't long before his wife was again unhappy.

This time her demand was to be king. The poor husband was very distressed, but his wife was extremely persistent. He went back, and once more the flounder granted him what he asked. Still that was not enough. Next she wanted to be emperor and then she wanted to be pope. The husband was more and more mortified by his wife's behavior, but each time he relented and the wife's demands were met.

Finally the wife decided that the only thing that could satisfy her now was to be in control of the sun, when it rose and when it set. She pressured her poor husband once more to return to the flounder. He did, but this time the flounder had completely lost patience with the situation. Instead of granting the request, he told the fisherman to return home to the pig sty he had lived in at the beginning.

The message of this story is that one must be careful not to let greed take control. If a person depends on material things for happiness, that person will never have enough. True happiness is something a person has within and not something that can be attained through material wealth or power.
