The Musicians of Bremen
Realising he had outlived his usefulness as a packhorse a donkey decided to become a musician in the town's band, and he ran away. Along the road he bumped into an old dog. 'I can no longer hunt', said the dog, 'and my master was going to have me put down so I'm searching my fortune elsewhere'. The donkey invited the dog to join him in his quest to join the town band. As they travelled further they met an old cat who had also left her mistress. 'I can no longer catch mice', said the cat, 'and my mistress was going to drown me so I'm searching my fortune elsewhere'. The donkey invited the cat to join the gang in their quest to join the town band. As they travelled further they met a cockerel. 'I am crowing for as long as I can, said the cockerel 'as my mistress is putting me in the pot for today's dinner'. The donkey invited the cockerel to join the gang in their quest to join the town band. Evening came and the animals discovered a house full of robbers. They managed to firghten the robbers away and take the house. When the robbers returned in the eveing again they successfully scared them away and were able to stay in the house for the rest of their days.
