In one German city, the poor spouses Hannah and Friedrich lived with their son Jacob. The father of the family was a shoemaker, and his mother traded vegetables in the market.

Wilhelm Hauf. "Dwarf Nose" (summary). Development of events
Once, when Jacob and his mother were trading, as always, in the market, an ugly old woman came up to them and began to pick and choose, choosing vegetables and greens. The boy insulted her, pointing to her physical disabilities: short stature, hump and large hooked nose. The old woman was offended, but did not show her mind. She picked six heads of cabbage and asked Jacob to take her home. He willingly agreed. Bringing the boy to her unusual house, the evil sorceress fed him a magic soup with some odorous roots and herbs. Having eaten this fat, Yakov fell asleep with a sound sleep. He dreamed that he had turned into a squirrel and served the old woman in this guise for seven years. Once, when he was looking for spices in a closet to cook chicken for a sorceress, Jacob came across a basket with fragrant grass, the same as he had in his soup. He sniffed her and woke up. “Return to the bazaar to mother,” was the boy’s first thought. So he did.
When his parents saw him, they did not recognize his son. It turned out that in seven years he turned into an ugly dwarf with a very long nose. Hannah and Frederick did not accept him like that. To feed, Jacob goes to the ducal palace to offer his services as a cook. They take it, and soon everyone praises the dishes prepared by him.
Wilhelm Hauf. "Dwarf Nose" (summary). Denouement
Once the dwarf Jacob himself went to the bazaar to select fat geese for dinner. There he acquired the Mimi goose, which, as it turned out later, spoke in a human voice. It was a bewitched girl. When Jacob understood everything, he began to guard the goose and feed it. Once, the prince came to visit the duke and demanded that a real royal pie be baked for him. The dwarf fulfilled this order, but his baking was not what it should be. After all, it lacked one particular weed, which is added only to this pie. The prince and the duke were angry, and Jacob promised them all the same to fulfill this order. Mimi promised to help him find the right grass. In the old garden, under a large chestnut tree, she found her and held out a dwarf. It turned out that this is the very spice that the sorceress added to the magic soup that changed Jacob. When he sniffed her, he turned into a tall and handsome young man. After that, he went with the goose to the island of Gotland, where Mimi's father, the old wizard of Wetterbock, lived. He removed the evil spell from his sweet daughter, and she turned into a beautiful girl. The Vetterbock gave Jacob a lot of gifts and money and spent it with his parents. So the young man returned to his hometown.
