"Frederick and Catherine" (also called "Freddy and Katy Lizzy") is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm in Grimm's Fairy Tales, number 59.
Frederick has some gold, but tells his wife it was counters for games and hides it in the house, warning her to leave them alone.
When a cheese rolls out of her pocket, she sends another to fetch it back, and then all the rest!
She brings back dried pears, vinegar, and the lower half of the door.
The noise made by the door as it falls terrifies them, as they think the Devil himself is coming, so they flee.
Peeved, the thieves tell Catherine to pull up beets in the pastor's garden.
