This week I decided to read the Brothers Grimm (LibriVox) Unit! It was taken from Fairy Tales by the Brothers Grimm.
The Frog Prince - The girl lost her golden ball. The frog got it for her only if he could sleep and eat from her plate for three nights. They did so and then she awoke to him being a handsome prince. It was a curse cast upon him and now it was broken.
Rapunzel - She was born and taken by an enchantress. She lived in this tower and would use her hair to let the enchantress climb up. A prince had heard her and they fell in love. The enchantress cast her out to the desert and he roamed blind until he found her. He could see again and she married him.
The Straw, the Coal, and the Bean - They all escaped from the fire. They ventured but the coal and the straw were killed trying to cross the stream. The bean burst from laughing so hard, but a tailer came and stitched it up with black thread, hence why beans have a black lining.
The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage - They all used to live in harmony where they would get wood, water, and make the meal. One day the bird didn't think it was fair and then all turned for the worse. The sausage was killed by a dog, the mouse burned itself in the pot trying to do the sausage's job and the bird drowned in the water.
The Traveling Musicians - The ass, the dog, the cat, and the rooster all fled their deaths and became a band of musicians. They found this house to sleep in and made the robbers leave. They then scared them once again when they tried to come back. They still live there today.
Clever Elsie - She was going to marry Hans and cared for his safety. She was in charge of some task but slept instead. He played a trick on her and she has been missing ever since.
Briar Rose - This is the sleeping beauty story. The kingdom fell asleep when she turned 15 and for 100 years they all slept while briar rose formed all around the castle. A prince had come on the 100th year and kissed the princess. They married.
