In this 333rrd issue of the Baba Indaba's Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the German Fairy Tale - "THE FOUR CLEVER BROTHERS".
A poor old father sent his sons out to learn trades. Each one met a man and was persuaded to learn the trade of the man whom he had met. In this manner, the oldest son became a thief, the second an astronomer, the third a huntsman, the fourth a tailor. When they returned, their father put them to the test. He asked his second son how many eggs there were in a nest, high on the tree, and the second son used his telescope to tell him five. Next, the eldest son climbed the tree and stole the eggs without the birds even being aware, and the third son shot all five eggs with one shot. The fourth son sewed both the shattered eggs and the chicks inside them back together, so that when the eldest put the eggs back in the nest, again without the mother bird noticing, they hatched with the only sign being some red thread about their necks.
Not long after, the King's Daughter was stolen by a Dragon and the brothers set out to rescue her. What happens next you ask? Were the brothers successful in their quest and did they manage to rescue her? If they did, what did they have to do?
