Grimms' Fairy Tales, Part 15: riassunto

Cosa succede

1. Chanticleer defeats a duck and makes her pull a nutshell carriage carrying Partlet, a needle, and a pin.
2. At an inn, the pair eat their offered egg, plant sharp objects, and escape; the landlord suffers their tricks.
3. On another ride, they gather companions at Mr. Korbes’s house, where successive attacks end with a millstone killing him.
4. Partlet secretly keeps a large nut and chokes; Chanticleer completes several errands for water but returns after her death.
5. During Partlet’s funeral journey, six mice and the other animal mourners drown while trying to cross a stream.
6. Chanticleer buries Partlet and stays beside her grave, mourning until he dies.

Cosa notare

Chanticleer’s grief becomes the final cause of death. His lonely vigil closes the movement from shared outings to complete loss.
