This is the "little friend" that the donkey met on the way to Bremen. Along the way, it met not only cats, but also hounds and cocks.
Musician in Bremen is a classic Grimm fairy tale, which tells the story of an old and frail donkey who is overwhelmed and wants to be a musician in Bremen. An interesting thing happened after he met a hound, a cat and a rooster on the road.
Grimm's fairy tales are a collection of fairy tales that most people often read when they were young, similar to Andersen's fairy tales. The fairy tales told are full of humor and satire, but in children's minds, those talking animals and other wonderful objects are what they are most interested in, and Bremen musicians come from Grimm's fairy tales.
A summary of the stories of Bremen musicians;
The protagonists in The Musician of Bremen are four kinds of animals.
The reason is that a farmer's donkey is too old to do much work, so the owner wants to abandon it and not let it eat anything. In grief, the donkey had to leave his master and head for Bremen. He thinks he can be an excellent musician.
On the way, it met the same old hunting dog. It was also because it was getting old and could not hunt, so its owner wanted to kill it, so it escaped. At the invitation of the donkey, it also went to Bremen with the donkey.
On the way, I met another cat. Because the cat's beard is about to fall off, the donkey calls it old beard. Similarly, the cat is old, can't catch mice, and only sleeps all day. Its mistress wants to drown it, and the donkey invites it to go to Bremen. Finally, they met a rooster who was about to be slaughtered in a village and invited it.
As a result, they walked and suddenly came to the robber's house, where there was delicious food, so four animals scared the robber away with their unique sounds and movements, and stayed here since then, never thinking about going to Bremen as a musician again.
