Grimm's Fairy Tales #4

Here is a Grimm Fairy Tale that I did not know about or even heard of entitled 'The Straw, The Coal and the Bean'. This is a very short one but is really quite descriptive. It is a tale of three odd friends working together to achieve a goal of some kind. Even though the straw still burns and the coal fizzles out and the bean splits. At least they tried for a little while to survive living. It is also a tale on how we see beans now-a-days with a black seam. To me this is an unusual tale on how to get children to eat their vegetables maybe.
