King of the Golden Mountain

King of the Golden Mountain is less known fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm (KHM 92). The main character of the story goes through several tests and one of the is the encounter with three giants. They have three magical objects but can't agree how to deal them.

 

Here is the scene in three pictures by Max Teschemacher (1910-1950):

three-giants-with-magical-objects-and-shephard
Can you help?
giants-are-suspicious
Let me test that!
giants-are-robbed
We should never trust a human!

You probably got it. Boy who officially became the king of the Golden Mountain (but lost his wife due his own stupidity) tricked the giants to show him the magical objects (cloak of invisibility, seven-miles- boots, and undefeatable sword), took them for himself, and continued with his mission - to get his wife back.

 

Ig he succeeded, chack the story of The King of the Golden Mountain.
