The story told by the Clock Town organ-grinder involving the Bremen's Mask references the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten" (The Town Musicians of Bremen). The tale follows the story of a dog, cat, rooster, and donkey who all escape their maltreating owners in hopes of reaching the city of Bremen, Germany (a free-trade town representing freedom from the animals' masters). Although they never reach this town, by banding together, the four animals are able to drive away a group of robbers near a forest cabin and live in harmony in the house.
