Viktor Paul Mohn: 'Star Money'
link
'The Star Money' or 'The Star Talers' is a German fairy tale
collected by the Brothers Grimm in Grimm's Fairy Tales.
An orphan girl was so poor as to have no home; she had
only her clothing and some bread. She gave a hungry man
the bread, three cold children her cap, her jacket, and her
dress, and in a forest where it was dark and she would not
be seen, another begging child her shift. Then stars fell to
earth before her. They became tales, and she found herself
wearing a fine linen shift. She was rich thereafter
