There once was a skipper who was too lazy to scratch his own arse. One day there was no food on board. So he looked for a worm and started fishing. After a while he got a bite and hooked an incredibly fat eel. He said to his wife: 'Get it and fry it'. The wife grabbed the eel, but it bit her on her pinky finger. Then she let go and the eel fell back into the canal. The fisherman said: ‘You are an idiot, no wonder we are poor’.READ ON | LISTEN
The Nut Girl
Once upon a time there was a young man. When he was young, he dreamt that somewhere in the world there must be a beautiful girl. He could not forget this dream. And when he was old enough, he told his father and mother that he needed a horse because he wanted to go out and find a wife. He was given the best horse, and his mother prepared so much food and drink for him that he did not go hungry for the first few weeks.READ ON | LISTEN
Jack in the Box
Once upon a time there was a young man called Jack. He wasn't clever or wise, but he wasn't stupid either. He wasn't tall, but he wasn't short either. He was sort of in between. Jack lived in a cardboard house.There was an old woman who lived nearby, and she often walked past his house. Every now and then Jack would hang out of the window and shout abuse at her. The woman would then shout that he would get what was coming to him.READ ON | LISTEN
Heideschijn
At home, we used to hear the story of a little man who lived underground.At night, he could turn into a handsome young man. One evening, while he was out walking on the moor, he met a girl. They chatted for a while and liked each other so much that they decided to meet up more often. But he always arranged to meet her in the dark. They got on really well and it became more than just a thing.READ ON | LISTEN
The Golden Apple
There once was a king who had three sons. When he grew old, he called the princes to him and said that one of them would inherit the throne but only the one who really deserved it. In a remote corner of his kingdom, there was a lake with an island with only a few trees on it. But these trees grew golden apples! The king said to his sons, "The one who manages to take a golden apple from the island and brings it to me will be my heir to the throne.” READ ON | LISTEN
