I hadn’t heard of this fairy tale before reading it, so I was intrigued to see what it was like. It centres around the master of a manor who is a bit of an idiot. He almost runs down a goose-girl but a peddler helps her. The master drinks and gambles a lot and one day goes too far and loses his manor. The peddler buys it and marries the goose-girl. The two live by the motto ‘everything in its right place.’ Their children are also virtuous. One of them carves a flute from the willow tree. It’s a special kind of flute that puts those with noble hearts to the top. It’s a tale about those who deserve the most, getting the most! If only that happened in real life, hey?
