About this listen

Seven years of hard work earn Hans a single reward—a heavy lump of silver. But as he sets off for home, Hans begins a series of curious trades that leave him with less and less…and somehow happier and happier.

In this classic Grimm fairy tale, Hans cheerfully exchanges silver for a horse, a horse for a cow, a cow for a pig, a pig for a goose, and finally a goose for a grindstone—only to lose even that along the way. Yet at every turn, Hans feels lighter, freer, and more convinced of his extraordinary good fortune.

Hans in Luck is a gentle, humorous, and quietly profound story about contentment, perspective, and the strange truth that happiness often comes not from what we gain—but from what we let go.

Warmly narrated by Eric Leeb, this timeless fairy tale invites listeners of all ages to smile, reflect, and reconsider what it really means to be lucky.
