About this audiobook
A straw, a coal and a bean are neighbors who escape a cooking pot together and set off to see the world. Then they come to a brook, and nobody knows how to get across.
The Brothers Grimm's very short folktale, read by Richard Stibbard. Four minutes, just right for a bedtime story or a quick read-aloud. It is one of the shortest and plainest of the Grimms' tales, with a small cast and a clear lesson about luck.
