The Poor Brother Gives All in The Grimm Brothers’ “The Turnip” (Clip)

At the story’s beginning, the poor brother throws off his red coat of soldiering and becomes a farmer, a major life transformation that makes him his brother’s opposite. Ian and I contrast these brothers, including in comparison to The Bible’s Cain and Abel.  A fruit of his labor is an enormous turnip.  He does not know what to do with it, so he gives it to the king as a mark of respect. So he is poor, but he gives his most extraordinary thing, and not out of calculation, but a spirit of benevolent ignorance. Thank you for the likes! A comment and a subscribe helps out!
