Wilhelm Grimm fu un autore tedesco e il minore dei fratelli Grimm. Insieme a suo fratello Jakob, divenne rinomato per la raccolta e la revisione di fiabe popolari. Il suo lavoro letterario si concentrò sulla preservazione della cultura e della lingua popolare tedesca, distinguendosi per il suo meticoloso approccio nel mantenere l'autenticità delle narrazioni. Grazie alla sua attenzione ai dettagli e alla profonda comprensione delle storie tradizionali, contribuì in modo significativo al campo degli studi folkloristici.

C'era una volta una principessa che si annoiava non sapendo come passare il tempo. Prese allora una palla d'oro, con la quale soleva spesso giocare, e si addentrò nel bosco fino a dove si trovava una sorgente d'acqua pura e fresca. Là si sedette e si divertiva a gettare la palla in alto e a riprenderla. Le accadde tuttavia di lanciarla molto in alto. Ella tendeva già le braccia per afferrarla, ma la palla ricadde al suolo e rotolò in acqua.

Tre giovani porcellini vengono allontanati di casa dalla madre per costruire una vita autonoma. Decidono di edificare ciascuno una propria abitazione. Il primo, pigro e svogliato, costruisce in fretta una casa di paglia per dedicarsi al divertimento. Il secondo, anch'egli poco motivato, opta per una casa di legno, completandola rapidamente. L'ultimo, il più grande e saggio, lavora con impegno per costruire una casa di mattoni e cemento, nonostante le derisioni dei fratelli. Un giorno, un lupo affamato si avvicina, intenzionato a mangiarli. I tre porcellini si rifugiano nelle loro case. La casa di paglia viene facilmente distrutta dal lupo, che divora il primo porcellino. Il secondo, rifugiatosi nella casa di legno, subisce la stessa sorte quando il lupo riesce a far crollare la sua abitazione. Infine, si dirige verso la casa di mattoni del porcellino più saggio. Qui, il lupo tenta di ingannarlo per farsi aprire la porta, ma senza successo. In un ultimo tentativo, cerca di entrare dal camino, ma il porcellino accorto accende un fuoco e mette a bollire una grande pentola d'acqua. Il lupo finisce per cadere dentro, morendo bruciato, oppure scappa via in preda alla paura.
