Synopsis

After seven years of hard work, Hans is paid his wages in a single massive coin of gold. The weight and size of it make him decide to trade it for something easier to carry on his long journey home — first a horse, then a cow, then a pig, then a goose, and finally a grindstone. Each exchange seems like an improvement at the time, but by the end he arrives home with nothing left of his fortune, convinced that every choice was lucky.
