The Jew among Thorns

by Brothers Grimm, Margaret Hunt (Translator)

Overview

Once lived a boy who served a rich man for three years. The boy decided to leave service and asked his master to give him what he had earned. Unfortunately he got only three farthings, a farthing per year. He wandered the woods where he stumbled upon a dwarf. He made a deal with it. He gave the dwarf his three coins and the dwarf gave him in return a magical fiddle which would make everyone dance. Later the boy met a Jew and decided to try the fiddle. He made the Jew dance although he was standing near thorn bushes. The Jew could not deny. The fiddle was magical after all. However if the boy was willing to let him stop, he would give him gold in return. The servant agreed. But the Jew swore to take his revenge. Read "The Jew among Thorns" to find out what followed.

About the Author

When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, aka the Brothers Grimm, set out to collect stories in the early 1800s, their goal was not to entertain children but to preserve Germanic folklore. Once the brothers saw how the stories entranced young readers, however, they began softening some of the harsher aspects to make them more suitable for children. A cornerstone of Western culture since the beginning of the 19th century, Grimm's Fairy Tales featuring their iconic stories like "Rapunzel", "The Frog Prince", "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", "Cinderella" and "Little Red Riding Hood" is now one of the world's most beloved books.
