Guess I don't know my fairytales very well...only 7/10. Question though......did anyone else know how Cinderella's sisters managed to make the glass slipper fit? I really don't remember that being in the stories I read.

Also, what kind of vegetable is rapunzel?

I got 7/10 but i had never heard of the Bluebeard one and i have never read the Rupunzel one and i couldn't remember what Beautys father took from the beast...oh well.
But i did get the sisters cutting their feet off to make the slipper fit. That was grusome...which is why i remembered it

Of course in the Disney version, they just bent their feet in half to make it fit...guess they couldn't keep it original

Yeah, that's what I remembered..the bending of the feet.........see, it's true! The real fairy tales are not for kids!

I got 9/10 the only one I didn't know was the Cinderella one. Rapunzel is actually a lettuce. And her father would have to drop over the side of the Wicked Fairy's wall in order to pick it for his wife. The only reason why I knew most of these is because the kids I babysit for their mom I guess does not believe in Disney FairyTales so we read all the originals Smile

9/10. I missed Rapunzel.... But Cinderella was in the original version like that, and collected by the Grimms. Originally a German fairy tale, I believe, called Ashenputl (sp?)... but you're right, gruesome.

7/10.... I have never seen the orginal Beauty & the Beast.... have no idea who Bluebeard is.... and EWWWW Cinderella's stepsisters cut off parts of their feet?? What kind of children's story is that??

Subject: Re: More my style :) Fri Sep 01, 2006 11:27 am

Well the original Fairy Tales were not for children. Hence Bluebeards wife finding all the corpses of his other wives, Cinderella's sisters cutting off parts of their feet....

8/10, but that's because I used to read stuff like that a lot and now I have a bunch of little princesses. The Bluebeard one is sooo nasty.
