Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm, Grimm's Goblins (1876) — The Waggish Musician
“ The musician was pleased to get a man for his companion, and behaved very civilly to him, and played him no tricks, but stopped and played his prettiest tunes till his heart overflowed for joy. While the woodcutter was standing listening, he saw the wolf, the fox, and the hare coming, and knew by their faces that they were in a great rage, and coming to do some mischief So he stood before the musician with his great axe, as much as to say, No one shall hurt him as long as I have this axe. ”
