Author: Peter Asbjorsen
Genre: Fairy Tales
Summary: There was a rich and a poor brother. The poor brother came to the rich brothers house asking for food. The rich brother gave him flitch and he told him to take it to Hell. So the man goes to Hell and make a trade with the devil for the flitch. He trades it for a grind. So they make the switch and the poor brother takes the grind home where it makes him everything he asks for until he becomes wealthy from the grind. From there he has everything so the rich brother buys it off of him but doesn't know how to use it so he ends up paying his brother to take it back. Then he starts to grind out Gold and builds he house on the sea side and a skipper comes up and wants to buy it so he does. He then takes off quickly so that the man will not change his mind. He then wants to grind salt and he does it on his ship and he doesn't know how to stop it so it floods his boat and then the grind drifts off to the bottom to the sea and thats why the sea has salt.
Reaction: The funny thing is I started to read the story forgetting all about the title and then by the end when it sums it all up it just makes me laugh that it all comes together with a joke at the end.
Problems: I don't see many problems with the stories I feel that they are fun ways of answering the questions of the world
Recommendation: To any one looking for a good laugh
