Grimms' Fairy Tales, Part 2: samenvatting

Wat er gebeurt

1. Hans leaves his master with silver wages and trades the heavy payment for a horse.
2. The horse throws him, so he exchanges it for a cow that he expects to provide dairy food.
3. The cow gives no milk and kicks him; a butcher exchanges his pig for it.
4. A countryman suggests the pig may be stolen, frightening Hans into trading it for a goose.
5. A grinder promises profitable work and takes the goose in exchange for a stone.
6. Hans accidentally knocks the heavy stone into a river, celebrates losing his burden, and reaches his mother’s house.

Waar je op kunt letten

Hans says this after losing the stone. His happiness depends on feeling unburdened, not on keeping the payment for his work.
