In this gentle Easter tale a humble valley of coal‑burners lives quietly beneath the mountains, their simple huts surrounded by orchards, a cow, and a few goats. The narrator offers the story as a modest gift, inviting children and their families to share in the timeless wonder of the holiday. Through warm, vivid language the reader feels the crisp air, the scent of fresh bread, and the quiet rhythm of a life content with little.
One day a stranger—a dignified lady with two children and an elderly servant—appears, weary from travel and in need of shelter. The villagers, moved by compassion, welcome them with milk, cheese, and fresh bread, showing how small acts of kindness echo the spirit of Easter. As the children sip from a simple bowl, the tale hints at deeper lessons: that even the tiniest gifts, like a single Easter egg, can reveal great wisdom and divine care.

Remembered for warmly moral stories written for young readers, this German priest and teacher became one of the most widely read children's authors of his time. His best-known works traveled far beyond Bavaria, and one of his Christmas songs is still familiar in German-speaking countries.
