Makes you want to start cooking

We have enjoyed reading this story many times. The kids are amused how Getzel "the fool" found a distant land where onions and garlic are worth more than diamonds. Getzel's uppity older brothers get their just rewards for going in search of the diamonds, and not getting as good of a bargain as they expected.
