Hans was in love with a girl named Gretel. They saw each other every day and every time Gretel gave Hans a gift. Hans was however not that smart, so he mishandled the gifts. Gretel gave Hans a needle and he stuck it in a hay. His mother told him that it was going to be better to stick it through his sleeve. And so he did the next day. However the gift was not a needle, but a knife. You can imagine the misunderstanding that had occurred. The story continues with Hans’ misfortunes. Will Gretel agree to marry him after she witnesses his stupidity so many times? Find out in Brothers Grimm’s "Clever Hans".
