Day 4

The Three Little Men in the Woods. The Brave Little Tailor. Hans Dumm.

November 1, 2020 by Yiyun Li

“Thank goodness that we tailors are fleet-footed.” The Brave Little Tailor
Once upon a time, before any kingdom existed, there lived a diminutive fleet-footed tyrannosauroid. This human-sized dinosaur— ~4ft limb length and 170lb mass—lived as a happy elf among the colossal tyrannosauruses, for as long as they lasted.


Hans Dumm: how many marriages in fairytale history were arranged lemons? Here's "The Three Lemons"–another lemon story, in which a sultan's son looked for a wife in the lemons.
