The Legend of Timm Thaler or The Boy Who Sold His Laughter

When a child laughs, the devil loses his power.

Timm Thyler is poor, but he laughs a lot and he looks so charming. One day, the world’s richest man makes the boy a dubious offer: if Timm agrees to sell him his laugh, he’ll win every bet he ever makes in the future.
