Once lived a louse and a flea together and then suddenly one day the louse burnt herself. The flea got scared and began screaming. And this simple thing led to the door’s creaking, the broom’s sweeping, the tree’s shaking and so on until many of the flea and louse’s friends got hurt. You can find out how this funny story ended in "Little Louse and Little Flea" by Brothers Grimm.

Brothers Grimm are probably the best-known storytellers in the world. Some of their most popular fairy tales are "Cinderella", "Beauty and the Beast" and "Little Red Riding Hood" and there is hardly anybody who has not grown up with the adventures of Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel and Snow White.
