The Backwards Brothers See the Light: An Icelandic Tale

This Icelandic tale tells the story of three strange brothers who live in a crooked house. Though “the brothers [do] not have much brain,” they decide to build a new home with no windows to let in the wind and one narrow door. When the house is too dark, they decide to fill their cups with sunshine and bring the sun into the house. When the sunshine disappears in the evening, they go to bed so they can get an early start to begin their work next day.
