There lived three apprentices who always worked in the same town and always travelled together. Once they stumbled upon a rich man who wanted their help in return for a lot of money. He was however not an ordinary man but the Devil instead. They got scared but he assured them he was not going to take their souls. The only thing they had to do was to repeat the same three meaningless phrases: "All three of us", "For money", "And quite right too". They kept their promise but they got themselves in great trouble. They saw how an innkeeper killed a merchant but because they kept repeating those words, it seemed like they were confessing their guilt. Will the Devil get them out of the mess? Find out in "The Three Apprentices".

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.

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s exceptional literature legacy consists of recorded German and European folktales and legends. Their collections have been translated into all European languages in their lifetime and into every living language today.
