The Wedding of Hans

#shortstory Author: Brothers Grimm. Once upon a time there was a young peasant named Hans who uncle wanted to find a rich wife. The guy sat Hans behind a very hot stove. Then he gave him a glass of milk and a lot of white bread, put a bright freshly minted coin in his hand, and he said,

Hans, hold that coin tightly, crumble white bread into milk, and stay where you are. Don't move from this place before I get back.

“Yes, man,” said Hans, “I'll do what you send me.

So, the guy put on an old pants patched with patches, went to the daughter of a rich peasant in the neighboring village, and said:

- Wouldn't you marry my nephew Hans? So would you get an honest and sensitive man who would surely satisfy you.

The father, a greedy man, asked:

- How is he doing in terms of his means? Do you have bread to share?

“Dear friend,” the uncle replied, “my young nephew has a comfortable seat, sparkling money in his hand, and lots of bread to share. Besides, he has as many patches as I have-. And when he spoke, he clapped the patches on his pants, but in those hamlets, the plots of land were also called patches -. “If you could come home with me, you will immediately see that everything is as I told you.

The miserly father didn't want to miss this good opportunity, and he said:

- If this is the case, I have nothing more to talk about to contradict marriage.

So the wedding was celebrated on the designated day. And when the young wife went outside to see the groom's property, Hans took off her sunday coat and put on her work suit, patched with patches, and said:

- I could ruin my good coat. Source, CortoScortos.com

You have to tell it in a whole new way, that's possible or invent a story yourself. This is the same story as the original. Not inventive at all. I will not spent 50 YP to give it for moderation. I'm past that but you should not compete with this in a challenge, sir Ernesto Amador!!!!
