Das tapfere Schneiderlein

Who says the little tailor is brave?

Clever, yes, perhaps, but we all know: Heroes are strong, heroes face challenges, no matter how big they are, without losing courage, without hesitating, without thinking. Heroes are not tailors. And certainly not tailors. So of course it's stupid when everyone thinks the little tailor is a hero - no matter how much he knows he's only thinking up new tricks to somehow defeat all the giants and boars and flies out of cowardice. Or does that count too? Achieving the goal with brains instead of brawn? Or is it sometimes even a good idea, instead of impressing princesses, to just take them on adventures because two heads are smarter than one? Sometimes you might be bravest when you admit to yourself that you are not.
