Brothers Grimm: the Bremen town musicians
The farmer doesn't need the old and tired donkey anymore, and sends him off to a journey to the German town Bremen. On his trip the donkey meets the dog, the cat, and the rooster. All together decide to become town musicians in Bremen. However, there is still a long way to Bremen, and the animals get very tired. They find a house in the forest, a place they could warm up, sleep and eat. But, robbers have taken over the house. With some singing the animals are able to scare the robbers away, and get the house and the food all for themselves.
