Week 14 Reading Diary continued: Brothers Grimm Hunt Unit

This week I decided to read the Brothers Grimm (Hunt) Unit! It was taken from Fairy Tales by the Brothers Grimm.

Bearskin - This is the beauty and the beast story, but just very different. The devil had put him in bearskin after he was not a nice man. He helped a poor father and his daughters did not want him. The youngest daughter gave him a chance. The man turned back into a handsome man and they were married while the other two sisters were left with nothing.

Hans the Hedgehog - It was a boy who was born as half hedgehog and half man. He had a lot of troubles in life but was taken to the kingdom. He was betrothed to the princess and he shed his hedgehog skin. Later on his father learned of his change and they all lived happily ever after in the kingdom. 

Snow-White and Rose-Red - This story of snow white is very different and very interesting. First, she has a sister who is her best friend and a loving mother. They take in this bear that needed warmth. They became friends. The dwarf that lived nearby was not nice at all and would trick the girls. He had actually turned the prince into the bear, which they found out later. Snow white was married to the prince and red-rose to his brother and they lived happily ever after.

Week 14 Reading Diary: Brothers Grimm Hunt Unit

This week I decided to read the Brothers Grimm (Hunt) Unit! It was taken from Fairy Tales by the Brothers Grimm.

Hansel and Grethel - The parents tried to get rid of them by bringing them into the forest. Hansel had grabbed white pebbles and threw them to make a trail so that they could find their way back to the house. The second time it happened he couldn't get pebbles but he threw crumbs instead, which the birds ate. They found the witch's house that was made of food. The witch was evil and tried to eat them but they killed the witch and got away. They brought presents from the house back to the father and they all lived happily ever after.

Thumbling - He was a child that was grown as small as a thumb. He would help his father and people found out about him. It was a long journey of tricking others and going through animals to come back home. He is smart, cunning, and just a boy who wants to get back home to his family.

Allerleirauh - It was a girl whose father gave her three beautiful dresses and lots of fur. She ran away from him and ended up working at this other palace. She would go and dance in her pretty dresses during the ball but then return to be the cook and give a gift to the king. This happened three times and on the last time he finally figured out it was her and they were married.
