Janoschs traumstunde herr korbes will klein h hnchen k ssen
"Herr Korbes" is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm, number 41. They found it in both the district of the Maine and Hesse.
Contents
It is Aarne-Thompson type 210, The Traveling Animals and the Wicked Man. Another tale of this type is the Grimms' The Pack of Ragamuffins.
Synopsis
A cock and a hen go to Herr Korbes's house in a carriage. Along the way, they pick up a millstone, an egg, a duck, a pin, and a needle. Herr Korbes is not at home; they go in and when he returns, they attack him.
Variants
In their third edition, the Grimms added a sentence to the end, that Korbes must have been a wicked man.
