Tom Thumb

---

Retells the adventures of a tiny boy in a horse's ear, a mouse hole, a snail shell, a cow's throat, and a wolf's belly.
There was once a woodsman and his wife who were very sad because they had no children.
"If only we had a child to love," said the wife, "I wouldn't mind if he were as small as my thumb!"
Time passed and at last they had a son, which made them both very happy.
Strangely enough, the boy never grew any bigger than a man's thumb, and so they called him "Tom Thumb".
