A goblin helps a miller's daughter spin straw into gold, asking in return for her first child, in this amusing 'teaching play' about greed, envy and helpfulness.

The miller lies to the king that his beautiful daughter can spin gold from straw. The king, eternally in debt, marries the miller's daughter and locks her in a chamber to spin gold. Of course, she does not succeed. One night, a little man appears and offers his services to the young queen. He is prepared to spin as much gold as she wants for her first-born child. The young queen happily agrees. When her first child is born, she begs the male to let her have the child. The male relents, but demands that the queen find out his name.

A Brothers Grimm fairy tale involving siblings finding a gingerbread house in the middle of the forest owned by an evil witch who captures them and by fattening them, intends to have them for her meal.

Once upon a time there was a king who had received a magic button from a fairy for his good deeds, which brought prosperity and wealth to the whole country. The times of worry and hunger were soon forgotten and the land of milk and honey lived in Saus and Braus. But with the abundance came inertia and boredom. Then the clever princess decided to put an end to the magic with the support of some children. And under no circumstances did the lazy citizens want to allow this.
