The next morning, everything changes, he is still Wendelin, and his breakfast is not exactly what he expected, only dry bread and a tasteless soup.

As he begins to question his new found family, he realizes that his older brother was able to marry into a rich family, but the rest are poor, living in a small town with no future. Even more, Wendelin is the 8th son, and the only allowed to stay home in the near future, the rest are searching for opportunities in the city.
