The Mouse, the Bird and the Sausage

by The Brothers Grimm


Based on translations from Kinder und Hausmarchen by Edgar Taylor and Marian Edwardes.

The Bird
Once upon a time, a mouse, a bird, and a sausage, entered into
partnership and set up house together. For a long time all went well;
they lived in great comfort, and prospered so far as to be able to add
considerably to their stores. The bird's duty was to fly daily into the
wood and bring in fuel; the mouse fetched the water, and the sausage
saw to the cooking.
