"Hans in Luck" by the Brothers Grimm.
Once upon a time there was a young man named Hans. He worked diligently for seven years, and his master gave him some gold.
Hans decided to visit his mother. Along the way, he traded gold for horse. Then the horse for a cow, the cow for a pig, and the pig for a goose. He traded the goose for stones. Hans dropped the stones into a well, and then reached his home.
With all these things, he was happy!

Hi everyone, I'd like to share one of my old stories with you again. I'm the lady in red.
"You have to water the flowers today." my mother said sternly.
I was a child then. I wanted to rest, but instead, I had to tend the plants.
My younger twin sisters were going about their business. That really infuriated me! Why did I have to be the one to do the housework? Because I'm a girl?! Or just because I'm older?!
Maybe now that I haven't lived with them for a long time, my sisters do everything themselves. Right?
Hello, dear readers! This is Mr. H. How are you?
Today I want to tell you about my passion. Everyone in my family loves sports! I played on a sports team when I was a child. I enjoyed it, and now my family enjoys it, too.
My son and I are actively involved in sports. I give him various exercises to do, and he carries them out. This started back when my son was little; that was when I became his coach. I'm strict, but fair.
At first, we used to go running together every morning. Later, my son started doing fitness workouts in the park.
By the time he was in middle school, my athlete was already competing in various events. He's my champion! But for us, it's the participation that matters most.
"It's to your credit that our son exercises every day," my wife said once.

The Seven against Thebes (Ἑπτὰ ἐπὶ Θήβας) (Hepta epi Thēbas) were seven characters in Greek mythology. They were at war in Thebes.
Eteocles (Ἐτεοκλῆς) (Eteoklês) and Polynices (Πολυνείκης) (Polyneíkes) were sons of Oedipus. The conflict started with them.
Polynices, Tydeus (Τυδεύς) (Tūdeus), Amphiaraus, Capaneus, Parthenopaeus, Hippomedon, and Eteoclus were the seven against Thebes.
They wanted to overthrow Eteocles and restore his brother Polynices to the throne. Almost all of them perished.

Also, there is a tragedy (play) of the same name written by Aeschylus.
Hi, people! Timothy is speaking to you now. I want to tell you about a friend of my ex-wife's family. This man has known my child's mother since early childhood. His name is Kevin.
"I met Kevin long before I met you," my ex-wife often said.
Also, I remember him inviting my ex-wife and our daughter over. They visited him after our divorce-which happened because of my appearance.
I think my family is with him now. It's for the best.
Hello to everyone who reads these lines! What did you do this summer? Have you already traveled, or are you planning on going soon? Perhaps you spent the time in a cozy village? Or even in your hometown, attending events?
It's all me, I ask, Maria, do you remember her? Ha-ha-ha!
I want to talk about my early childhood. I don't remember my parents very well. But life with them was wonderful! I was their only daughter, and they made me happy.
"Look baby, these blue flowers are for you," said my Mom and gave me a blue bouquet from the meadow.
Since then, I really love the color blue and I have a lot of blue things.
Good evening, dear people! What's new in your life? How did you spend your time?
It's me, Mr. H. About two months ago I wanted to go to the south with my family. There are beaches with the sea, warm sun, all the people around are happy and enjoying their vacation.
"I hope we can go to a warm city this year and relax there," I told my wife.
But then it turned out we couldn't go to the seaside this year. So my wife, son, and I decided to go to countryside. That's a fun way to relax, too. We can go into the woods, watch animals, and eat vegetables...
"We can go on vacation somewhere else." I said.
"Great idea!" my son said happily.
"Yes, I like it," my wife agreed.
Our summer vacation in the village was actually very interesting. My son and I went fishing, and my wife went to the market and bought a lot of necessary things. Also, we met new people.

"You don't have any relatives at all?" someone asked me.
"Yes, that's what happened to me." I said.
My late Mom never told me about father or her relatives. I wanted to ask her, but I didn't have time. Also, I didn't have any inheritance. Or rather, I did have one, but then it disappeared somewhere.
I was only able to keep a piece of my mother's clothing. This is my memory of her.
"I love you very much and miss you. I want to achieve justice."
Good evening, boys and girls, men and women. I, the lady in red, speak to you. I want to tell you about my conclusions.
I was eleven years old then. It was just a boring lesson at school. They didn't have time to ask me, and I was preparing yesterday. I was really upset!
Then the break started and I quickly ran home. I felt free. At that moment, I began to wonder if maybe there would be a change in my life, and the boring lesson would end.
"You do your homework for yourself. The more people know, the better," my mother said when I told her about my feelings.
Then a change did happen in my life, but more on that later.

Hello, dear readers! I'm Mr. H. What have you been up to? What interesting things happened?
This is how it happened for me. My wife and I washed the windows in our new apartment. Our son participated, too.
It was like a gym class. We repeated the same movements many times! Ha-ha-ha!
"Dad, I brought cleaning supplies," my son said.
"Thank you very much, son" I said with happiness.
"Oh, I'm already tired; everything will probably hurt tomorrow!" my wife said.
"No matter, we did something useful and trained our bodies." I encouraged her.
The next day we really felt the result of the "training", but all the windows in the new apartment became cleaner, and the view of the street became more vivid.
