Recently I was bored and got reading some of the original German/similar folk tales behind some of these kids stories we're so familiar with..........was funny reading! Some really fucked up, grim stuff!
Pinocchio, in the original, at one point was lynched/hung by (I want to say bullies but could've been townspeople on a witchhunt ) and at another point, they set his legs on fire!
Rumplestiltskin was the funniest ending, by far. I couldn't remember the ending I was familiar with (was the exact reason I googled it/ended up reading these things)......but it certainly wasn't 'the originial' one.
In the original, ol' Rump is SOOOOO infuriated by the fact that woman guesses his name that he stamps his foot so hard it goes through the floor and he's stuck with one leg in, one leg out of the floor. This pisses him off so much, that he grabs his 'free leg' and literally tears his body in half and dies.
