Grimms' Fairy Tales, Part 53: samenvatting

Wat er gebeurt

1. A ruined merchant accepts gold from a dwarf, unknowingly promising Heinel; fairy guidance helps the boy negotiate departure by boat instead.
2. The fairy saves Heinel’s boat, and he reaches a castle where an enchanted princess needs him to endure three nights of torment.
3. Heinel remains silent through death, receives life again, marries the princess, and becomes king; after eight years, he visits his parents.
4. Angered by his father’s disbelief, Heinel summons his queen and son with a wishing ring, breaking his promise to her.
5. The queen takes the ring and leaves him; Heinel tricks three giants out of magical possessions and returns to his kingdom.
6. Heinel interrupts the queen’s new wedding, confronts her, and uses the magical sword to kill the men who try to seize him.

Waar je op kunt letten

Heinel answers his father’s fear with confidence. His challenge to the dwarf begins a series of encounters in which cleverness and magical help overcome danger.
