Old-fashioned fairy tales
About this book
There was once upon a time a child who had Good Luck for his godfather. “I am not Fortune”, said Good Luck to the parents; “I have no gifts to bestow, but whenever he needs help I will be at hand”. “Nothing could be better”, said the old couple. They were delighted. But what pleases the father often fails to satisfy the son: moreover, every man thinks that he deserves just a little more than he has got, and does not reckon it to the purpose if his father had less. Many a one would be thankful to have as good reasons for contentment as he who had Good Luck for his godfather.
