This week we're in Bavaria to meet a giant and his stepson Hans. When Hans finds an enchanted sash that makes him strong, his parents get suspicious and steal his eyes before giving him the boot. With the help of some friends he made, plus a few strangers and rodents, Hans will get a second act—if he can keep his blindness a secret. Can he get away with it? And will he ever get to drink that wine? What does the giant do with his sash? Join us for all this and absolutely no answers.
