The miller Michael and his miller´s apprentices from the Grundelmühle are preparing a delicious evening meal. But they haven´t reckoned with the water sprite from the mill pond. "Do I also get my share?”, asks the grass-green guy with the broad frog´s mouth. The miller Michel chases away the uninvited guest. But the water sprite takes vengeance: from now on, he is up to his noisy mischief night after night, so that nobody wants to stay in the mill any longer.
