1. Hans served his master for seven years.
2. The master gave him a lump of gold as big as his head. He exchanged it because he admired the horseman’s horse and thought riding would be splendid.
3. He fell from the horse when it began to trot. A peasant driving a cow helped him.
4. Hans said the cow was something worth having because one could jog on after her and have her milk, butter, and cheese every day.
5. The butcher said, “Here’s a fine piece of work!” and offered to exchange his pig for Hans’s cow, saying, “Just for love of you I will exchange, my pig instead of your cow.”
6. Hans did three exchanges: gold for horse, horse for cow, and cow for pig.
