In this classic story from the Grimms Brothers, Little Flea assumes his beloved Little Louse has fallen into the soup pot and “gotten all boiled up” and leaves home with the table, bread pan, door, and tree following. Much to their delight and surprise, they find Little Louse napping peacefully under the rosebush.
