Brothers grimm story about bees

See a Problem?

Oh, ever so gently, so you hardly even feel it. Til' you fall dead.

Then their brother, who was a little insignificant dwarf, went out to seek for his brothers: but when he had found them they only laughed at him, to think that he, who was so young and simple, should try to travel through the world, when they, who were so much wiser, had been unable to get on. However, they all set out on their journey together, and came at last to an ant- hill. The two elder brothers would have pulled it down, in order to see how the poor ants in their fright would run about and carry off their eggs. So on they went, and came to a lake where many many ducks were swimming about. The two brothers wanted to catch two, and roast them. At length the three brothers came to a castle: and as they passed by the stables they saw fine horses standing there, but all were of marble, and no man was to be seen.
