A young woman named Gretel worked as a cook in a master's mansion. Before going to work, she loved to put on her red shoes and twirl around in them. "You're such a pretty girl, Gretel," she told herself while playing with her skirts. She twirled and twirled and twirled, while having a gulp or two of wine until it was time to go to the master's mansion for the day.
Once upon a time, there was a flea, a grasshopper and a frog who wanted to determine which of the three could jump higher. Thus, they decided to hold leaping match. The winner would get the bragging rights! When the king heard of this competition, he was intrigued. He brought the three animals to his court and offered to up the stakes by offering his daughter's hand in marriage to the winner of the leaping match.
