Åsnan ger sig av till Bremen

The donkey leaves for Bremen

En man hade en åsna som i många år hade burit tunga säckar med säd till kvarnen. Men nu var åsnan gammal och orkade inte arbeta som förr. Mannen ville slippa ge honom mat. Åsnan trodde att han var i fara och rymde. Han tog vägen mot Bremen och tänkte att han kunde bli musiker där.

A man had a donkey who had carried heavy sacks of grain to the mill for many years. But now the donkey was old and could no longer work as he used to. The man wanted to avoid having to feed him. The donkey thought he was in danger and ran away. He took the road to Bremen, thinking he could become a musician there.
