Wow I like the the childrens version more..that is a bit morbid, don’t you think?

It was a childrens story. All of the “fairy tales” were originally precautionary stories for little kids, so they used to be “Dont go into the woods alone or you’ll get eaten” kind of things.

Don’t feel sorry for Cinderella. In the oldest versions of the story, the slightly more sinister Cinderella actually kills her first stepmother so her father will marry the housekeeper instead. Guess she wasn’t banking on the housekeeper’s six daughters moving in or that never-ending chore list.

This isn’t exactly a children’s story, but Ring-Around-the-Rosies is about the bubonic plauge:
Ring around the Rosies (like at a funeral)
A pocketful of posies (what they wore when a person died from the plauge)
Ashes, ashes (from burning the infected bodies)
We all fall down (because they died from Black Death)

Actually, the ring around the rosies part was talking about the sores on people’s skin, which was a red bump surrounded by a ring of dead flesh.

And the pocket full of posies what because of the smell. People would carry flowers in their pockts to help cover the smell of the dead.

In the original version, it’s not the kiss of a handsome prince that wakes Sleeping Beauty, but the nudging of her newborn twins. That’s right. While unconscious, the princess is impregnated by a monarch and wakes up to find out she’s a mom twice over. Then, in true Ricki Lake form, Sleeping Beauty’s “baby’s daddy” triumphantly returns and promises to send for her and the kids later, conveniently forgetting to mention that he’s married. When the trio is eventually brought to the palace, his wife tries to kill them all, but is thwarted by the king. In the end, Sleeping Beauty gets to marry the guy who violated her, and they all live happily ever after.

In the original “Little Mermaid” the mermaid saves the prince, but he falls in love with somebody else. She then goes to kill the woman the prince fell in love with, but instead kills herself. Its a good thing Disney changed that..haha

Sort of. In Hans Christian Andersen’s original tale, however, Ariel can only come on land to be with the handsome prince if she drinks a potion that makes it feel like she is walking on knives at all times. She does, and you would expect her selfless act to end with the two of them getting married. Nope. The prince marries a different woman, and the Little Mermaid throws herself into the sea, where her body dissolves into seam foam.

dont forget to mention how they brutally murder the kings wife for her attempt on the lives of the children.

Yknow whats worrying? the brothers grimm versions were even watered down from what they heard, the most notable change being evil mother to evil step-mother, because instilling a child with the thought that their own blood relation might murder their worthless *** in the middle of the night was deemed a bit too scary. If you ask me, stories like that might help keep kids in line.

How you hear about the original story of,”Goldie Locks”? That’s interesting.
