for the whole family

As a reward for seven years of service, Hans receives a large lump of gold from his master. For Hans, it is now time to go out into the world, out into life, out into freedom. On his way, Hans makes many trades: he exchanges the lump of gold for a horse, which he trades for a cow, which he trades for a pig, which he trades for a goose, and which he trades for a grindstone, which he then drops into a well, until in the end he has nothing left and realises that freedom is the greatest happiness.
