Wise Folks by The Brothers Grimm is a humorous story about a peasant who believes his wife to be the most foolish person alive. Leaving her strict instructions to sell their cows for no less than two hundred thalers, he threatens her with punishment if she makes a bad deal. The wife, thinking she has struck a clever bargain, ends up letting a cattle-dealer take two cows with only one left as "security." Furious, the peasant sets out on a quest to find someone even more foolish than his wife so he might let her off her punishment. Along the way, he encounters a series of comically gullible people, each more foolish than the last. With a bag of money, a fine horse, and a tale of silliness, the peasant returns home triumphant. But will his wife escape the punishment he planned? What will the peasant decide to do with his newfound wealth? And as he sits content in his cleverness, could there be an even bigger fool around the corner? Find out in this clever tale of unexpected twists and tricks!
