Reading Notes: Grimm Brothers, Part A

I enjoyed reading these stories, for my story book involves many of the Grimm Brother's stories. I enjoyed researching them and their stories, so I thought it would be fun to read some more of their stories like the ones in this unit!

The Grimm Brothers' Children's and Household Tales  was full of fun stories. As I read them I could picture them being turned into a cartoon, like many of their stories have been! I see what Disney has brought so many of his stories to life!

When I read the title "Little Red Cap" I wondered if this story was the inspiration of Little Red Riding Hood. As I continued to read the story, I discovered that my acquisitions were correct!  This story was almost identical to the Little Red Riding Hood we know today. I had never thought about how ridiculous this story was in the past, but this time I did notice that there was a moral to the story - to stay on the path and not to run off by yourself.

I think it would be fun to write my own variation of this story! I have enjoyed rewriting some of the other tales by the Grimm Brother's, so this might be a fun one! I do like how this story ends happy, while many of the other stories by those brothers do not.

Week 12 Story: The Fox Wife

Image
One day there lived a lonely fox. He had quite a nice den, but he spent most his days out in the woods hunting. While he preferred to hunt alone, he did get awfully lonely in the evenings. His days were long, with no one to talk to when he returned to his den after a long day of hunting. He became very depressed by his loneliness. His den became a disaster because he had no motivation to clean. Every night before he went to sleep he would pray for someone to spend his life. Someone who would help him do the chores and someone to tell about his day when he came home from hunting. A few weeks of his wishing past. He started to notice that when he got home from hunting, some things were cleaned and put where they belonged. There were no visible signs that someone had been there. Nothing was stolen, so he was not too worried, but wondered who was coming in while he was gone to clean. He decided that he would pretend to leave to go hunt, then sneak back in to see who or what was sneaking
