Great poem, Kabu. Tells the whole story in a few lines of verse - neat stuff.

That's really good! I can imagine a whole book of these types of poems.

How your post brings back
memories.

There used to be a TV series on when I was small called 'Tales from Europe' and I vividly remember the dramatisation of this story - to be (very often) repeated in a storybook I used to read to each of our children

Yes really good Kabu I haven't thought of the old guy for a long time. He did wear a peaked hat if I remember and was larger than a gnome more like a male stunted witch, if I am right. Well done and please accept this golden haystack badge for mowing.

It was a stupid bargain in the first place...
Silly girl. You don't mess with a gnome who spins straw into gold. I love your spin on this one, Kabu. It's totally delightful!
