The Travelling Musicians Page #2
The Travelling Musicians is a tale by the Brothers Grimm about four aging domestic animals who, after a lifetime of hard work, are no longer of any use to their masters. These include a donkey, dog, cat, and a rooster. Anticipating a sad end, they decide to leave their homes and venture to Bremen, a town famed for its freedom, to live the rest of their life as musicians. On their way, they encounter a band of robbers, whom they successfully scare away by standing on each other and making a terrible din. Instead of Bremen, they decide to settle in the robbers' house, where they spend their days making music and living happily.

he ran to the back door; but there the dog jumped up and bit him in the leg; and as he was crossing over the yard the ass kicked him; and the cock, who had been awakened by the noise, crowed with all his might. At this the robber ran back as fast as he could to his comrades, and told the captain how a horrid witch had got into the house, and had spat at him and scratched his face with her long bony fingers; how a man with a knife in his hand had hidden himself behind the door, and stabbed him in the leg; how a black monster stood in the yard and struck him with a club, and how the devil had sat upon the top of the house and cried out, ‘Throw the rascal up here!’ After this the robbers never dared to go back to the house; but the musicians were so pleased with their quarters that they took up their abode there; and there they are, I dare say, at this very day.
