Grimms’ Fairy Tales 021 – THE MOUSE, THE BIRD, AND THE SAUSAGE – 001

Once upon a time, a mouse, a bird, and a sausage, entered into partnership and set up house together.
For a long time all went well; they lived in great comfort, and prospered so far as to be able to add considerably to their stores.
The bird’s duty was to fly daily into the wood and bring in fuel; the mouse fetched the water, and the sausage saw to the cooking.

When people are too well off they always begin to long for something new.
And so it came to pass, that the bird, while out one day, met a fellow bird, to whom he boastfully expatiated on the excellence of his household arrangements.
But the other bird sneered at him for being a poor simpleton, who did all the hard work, while the other two stayed at home and had a good time of it
