Grimms' Fairy Tales, Part 34 — краткое содержание

Что происходит

1. A farmer pays his servant three pennies for three years, and the servant leaves to travel.
2. The servant gives everything to a dwarf, who grants him an unfailing bow, a fiddle that compels dancing, and requests nobody can refuse.
3. He makes a miser dance among thorns until the miser offers a hundred florins to stop the music.
4. The miser accuses him of robbery, and the judge sentences the servant to death.
5. At the gallows, the servant requests his fiddle and makes everyone dance until the judge grants his life and promises the money.
6. Under threat of more music, the miser admits stealing the gold and takes the servant’s place at the gallows.

На что обратить внимание

The third wish guarantees permission to play. It gives the condemned servant access to the fiddle that reverses his sentence.
