Two brothers, one rich and one poor, live in a country of long cold winters. The poor brother has nothing for Christmas, so he goes to ask the rich one for help. He is sent off with a ham and told to take it to the dwarfs. The dwarfs give him something far better in exchange: a small hand-mill that grinds out whatever he asks for. Andrew Lang's version of the old Norwegian tale of how the sea became salt, read by Mike Polischuk. Fifteen minutes of a classic folk tale. For anyone who likes a story that explains why the world is the way it is.
