from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is in the children's and house fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm from the 3rd edition from 1837 on position 164 (KHM 164), was first published by Wilhelm Grimm in 1836 in the Pfennig magazine for children and is part of Eucharius Eyering's collection Proverbiorum Copia (vol. 1, 1601).

content

Lazy Heinz marries fat Trine so that she can drive his and her goat out together and he can laze around. She has the idea of ​​exchanging the goats with the neighbors for a beehive that you don't need to look after. Heinz harvests the honey in autumn, and since both of them like to lie in bed until noon, Trine takes a hazelnut stick to chase mice away from the bed. One morning Heinz suggests buying a goose and a gosling from the honey before Trine eats it alone. But first she wants a child to take care of the geese. When he was worried that the child might not obey, she waved the stick and smashed the honey jar. Heinz is happy that the jug didn't fall on his head, the two of them find something to snack on in a shard and then rest from the shock.

origin

Grimm's comment refers to an oriental fairy tale about a hermit who wants to buy goats and a beautiful woman from honey and then punish his son with a stick.

The lazy Heinz contains an allusion to KHM 162 Der Kluge Knecht and, conversely, receives an allusion in KHM 168 Die Hagere Liese .

Trine's concluding remark with the snail (from 6th edition) comes from a letter from Elisabeth von Orleans (1843, 268). The final sentence “Rushing is not good” goes back to Suetons De vita Caesarum ( Octavianus 25.4: Festina lente ) (cf. KHM 184 Der Nagel ).

Parody, interpretation

At Janosch , Hans and Trine save themselves a fence between their courtyards by getting married, lie on the sofa together and laze around. The homeopath Martin Bomhardt compares the fairy tale with the drug pictures of graphite and sulfur .
