A proposito di questo titolo
A simple kitchen mishap sends three unlikely companions into the world together: a straw spared from the fire, a coal that leapt from the hearth, and a lone bean that escaped the pot. Each has survived by chance, and each believes fortune has finally turned in their favor.
Determined to remain together, the three set off as travelers—until a small country brook forces a decision that will test courage, patience, and pride. What follows is not a tale of heroism, but of human weakness rendered through the humblest of objects, where haste, fear, and laughter carry irreversible consequences.
The Straw, the Coal, and the Bean by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm is a sharply observed moral fable told with restraint and dry irony. Brief yet unforgettable, it reveals how survival can hinge on moments of judgment—and how even rescue leaves a permanent mark.
Narrated with measured clarity by Richard Stibbard, this classic Grimm tale is presented in its original, unsentimental spirit: simple in form, dark in humor, and quietly exacting in its moral truth.
