A woman beats her stitching husband over the head with a rolling pin. One strike for each hour. The tailor moves his sewing arm. The scene recalls the Grimm Brothers' story about the tailor who, with one blow, killed seven flies that were gathering around his fresh jam. He was so proud he made a belt and stitched on the lettering "Seven With One Blow." As he strutted about town with this belt, rumor began to circulate that he had killed seven MEN with one blow. When the King heard of this he called upon the tailor to solve some problems for him (giants, a dragon, etc.) and in return the tailor's reward (of course) was to be the Princess's hand in marriage. The tailor had several adventures after that, and even managed to outwit every creature that came across his path - using brain instead of brawn to achieve his goal. When he returned to the King he settled down with his new wife, the Princess, and started up his tailor business again. Imagine the Princess's displeasure when she found that she hadn't married a dashing and courageous prince at all. She was stuck with this lowly tailor! 10 8393 Farmer Couple 20” x 23” x 10” • Animated dancers, carved with intricate detail • Animated grazing horse and waterwheel • Official Black Forest clock certified by the VDS • 36-note music box movement • Wooden weight shells • A Romba original!

A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a grape in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree. "That's for me, as I am a Fox," said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree. "Good-day, Mistress Crow," he cried. "How well you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds." The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the grape fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox. "That will do," said he. "That was all I wanted. In exchange for your grape I will give you a piece of advice for the future: "Do not trust flatterers." 8214 Grouse and Pines 16 " x 22 " x 8 " (below) • Carved wooden hands • Antique oak finish • Official Black Forest Clock, licensed by the VDS • A Hubert Herr Original!
