Jeroen Hellingman and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net/ for Project Gutenberg "Hoe Piggelmee groot werd : Oorspronkelijk sprookje vervolg op het…" by Leopold is a children’s fairy tale written in the early 20th century. The book continues the story of Piggelmee, a little dwarf, and his wife, following their misfortunes and adventures after the events of the earlier tale "Het Toovervischje." The story is composed in rhymed verse and features whimsical imagery and talking animals, typical of children’s literature from this era. At its core, the book explores themes of generosity, selflessness, and the true meaning of growth and happiness. The plot centers on Piggelmee and his wife, who are now living in difficult conditions after their old home is destroyed. Longing for a better life, Piggelmee is obsessed with the idea of growing bigger and seeks advice from various animals but finds no answers. Finally, guided by the wise nightingale, he learns that true growth comes from performing a genuinely selfless act. After several failed attempts motivated by the hope of personal reward, Piggelmee finally helps a suffering rabbit with no thought for himself. This act of pure kindness magically grants him (and his wife) the growth he sought. The story ends with the couple prospering in their new life, and features a playful endorsement of Van Nelle's coffee and tea, reinforcing a message of contentment and the value of simple, shared pleasures.
