Domestic bliss has been established in a certain household where everyone has just the right job. What could possibly go wrong?
Things get moralistic in this episode of Grimm Reading as we dive into the fable of The Mouse, the Bird and the Sausage. Some good old fashioned values and questionable gender politics inform the story line and we definitively learn to not let sausages go into the woods alone.
We also unveil the 'Certified Grimm' rating system, whereby in future episodes we'll be able to warn listeners of any potentially offensive or unsuitable material.
Theme music: 'Bicycle Waltz' by Goodbye Kumiko
Other music: Beethoven's Sonata No. 21 in C Major 'Waldstein' Op. 53 performed by Michael Hawley

Welcome to the first ever episode of Grimm Reading! We kick off proceedings with two Brothers Grimm tales: Hans in Luck and Old Sultan.
When is a pig a trifle? And just exactly what is a clock? We learn this and so much more as we join the imperturbable Hans on his journey home to his mother.
In our second story we join Sultan, the shepherd's toothless old dog, as he does his level best to avoid being permanently retired with the help of a wily cat.
This is the start of a journey into the world of the Brothers Grimm. Neither of us know anything about the stories or brothers at this point and will be learning as we go. We look forward to having you join us on this adventure!
