One night the master in our story was going to have guests so he asked his cook Grethel to prepare one chicken for him and one for the guests. And so she did. But she prepared them so well that she could not resist but take a bite. And then one more. And another one after that. And suddenly without realizing it, she had eaten up both chickens. What will she serve the hungry guests? What will she explain to her master? What will she say to the guests to make them run away as fast as they can? Read "Clever Grethel" to find out.
