Life is often unpredictable. At some point, everyone experiences an unexpected situation that he or she cannot control.

In their fairy tale “The Three Little Men in the Wood,” the Brothers Grimm present such an incontrollable, unavoidable situation. Through the tale, the brothers demonstrate that circumstances matter less than the response to them.
