"The Twelve Brothers" by the Brothers Grimm.
Once upon a time there were a husband and wife, who were a king and Queen. They had twelve sons.
The king decided if his wife gives birth to a daughter, then all the boys must die.
The queen told the youngest son Benjamin, that he and his brothers would go to the forest to live.
Then the boys had a sister and they stayed to live in the forest.
Several years later the girl knew about her twelve brothers. Mother said that she didn't know where they were.
The sister found her brothers' house in the forest. Everyone was happy with this meeting.
Once a sister picked twelve lilies in the garden, and her twelve brothers turned into twelve ravens.
To save her brothers, the sister didn't say a word or laugh for seven years.
During this time, she married the king. His stepmother wanted to kill her. But the brothers saved their sister.
