Tale by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, after the translation of Lucy Crane
Hans
had served his master for seven years, and at the end of the seventh year he
said, »Master, my time is up. I want to go home and see my mother, so give me
my wages.«—»You have served me truly and faithfully,« said the master; »as the
service is, so must the wages be,« and he gave him a lump of gold as big as his
head. Hans pulled his handkerchief out of his pocket and tied up the lump of
gold in it, hoisted it on his shoulder and set off on his way home.
