Hans’ uncle wanted to marry his nephew to a rich man’s daughter. Hans’ fortune was however not that big so the uncle had to come up with a trick. He went to the neighbor village where a rich man lived. He convinced the man that the marriage to Hans was worth it because the boy had as many patches as the ones on the uncle’s trousers. You cannot imagine how big of a misunderstanding occurred because in Hans’ an the rich man’s villages "patches" meant "land" as well. Will the rich man find out that he was tricked before the marriage or his daughter will be given to an ordinary poor peasant?
