Hans in Luck — J.E. Bright

Hans works faithfully for the farmer for seven years. At the end of his service, his master gives him a lump of gold the size of his head! Hans heads off to make his fortune, but soon the gold becomes too heavy to carry. In a series of hilarious encounters with other travelers, Hans ends up trading one thing for another along his journey, from the gold to a goose to a scissor-grinder and more! This fractured retelling of Hans in Luck, a lesser-known tale from the Brothers Grimm, will make readers giggle, groan, and gasp with delight. Especially when they see why Hans thinks he is the luckiest guy in the world.
