The Spirited Adventures of Hans: From Gold to Goose 💰🐎🐄🐖🦢

Gather 'round, my lovelies, for a tale of fortune and folly! 🌟 Hans (called "Dummling) toils for seven long years, and his reward is a shining lump of gold 💰. On his way home, he encounters a rider and, in a whimsical trade, swaps his precious gold for a horse 🐎. Alas, the horse soon bolts! A cunning shepherd persuades him to exchange the horse for a cow 🐄, which proves to be dry and milkless. Undeterred, Dummling trades the cow for a pig 🐖, and then the pig for a goose 🦢. Finally, he swaps the goose for a grindstone, which he promptly loses in a river 🌊. Yet, our dear Hans remains ever joyful, delighted to be free of the cumbersome stone. He returns to his mother's arms, regaling her with tales of his fortunate journey 🏠.
