You can read some here: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/12116/12116-h/12116-h.htm Let's take a minute to image yourself as a child in mid 19th century Germany. What stories would your parents read to you to make you fall asleep? A story about a knight fighting dragons? No. You would've been read stories about giant tailors chopping off your thumbs and getting blown away in a thunderstorm to never be seen again. The origin of these stories is traced back to a man named Heinrich Hoffman. He wanted to buy his son a fairy tale book for Christmas, but could not find any he liked. So, Heinrich Hoffman made his own! I wonder if Hitler was read any of these stories as a child... Here's one most goons can identify with!

Goons can relate to the first 2 lines, beyond that this tale may as well be set on the far side of Jupiter.

Are there fairy tales where a character is Jewish? I read that Germans were obsessed with all things Jew in the late 1800s.

qkkl posted:Are there fairy tales where a character is Jewish? I read that Germans were obsessed with all things Jew in the late 1800s. I remember reading a fairy tale about Abner, the Jew who did not see anything. Abner was going for a walk when he met the king's stablemaster, who asks him if he has seen a horse. Abner describes the horse, and the stablemaster confirms that this would be the horse he's looking for. However, Abner claims he didn't see the horse. Before he can say anything else, a scullery maid comes by and asks if he has seen the king's favourite dog. Abner accurately describes the dog, then claims he did not see it. He gets dragged before the king and is whipped and fined for making fun of the king's property, then explains he guessed how the dog and horse looked by looking at their tracks. He is released and once again goes for a walk. Yet again he meets the king's men who ask him if he has seen an escaped slave. He denies it, and they ask if he can read the tracks. He denies it again. The soldiers are angry now and demand he reads the tracks. In his fear he guesses a direction at random, which turns out to be wrong. The slave escapes and Abner is whipped and fined again. Yeah. Not sure what this story was supposed to teach me. My grandmother often read the Struwwelpeter stories to me. I remember having a fondness for Die Geschichte von den schwarzen Buben (the story of the black boy). Some white boys make fun of a black boy. Saint Nicholas doesn't like that and dunks them into his ink jar. Now everyone is black. The end. I was easily entertained as a child.

It teaches that jews will get punished for knowing things and they will get punished for not knowing things. Or, in other words, it's 18th century Germany so they're hosed regardless.

Read all of Grimm's fairy tales a while ago, and believe this to be the best one.quote:One time the little hen and the little rooster went to Nut Mountain, and they agreed that whoever would find a nut would share it with the other one. Now the little hen found a large, large nut, but -- wanting to eat the kernal by herself -- she said nothing about it. However, the kernal was so thick that she could not swallow it down. It got stuck in her throat, and fearing that she would choke to death, she cried out, "Little Rooster, I beg you to run as fast as you can to the well and get me some water, or else I'll choke to death."

Ahh we had this exact book at my grandmothers house. She would read it for me and we looked at the picture. I was dead scared of that scissor guy, it still gives me the creeps. Yes my grandmom was German. Edit: I got soooo mad at this Frederick guy

The child that goes out with an umbrella during a storm gets carried off to god knows where with a questionable chance of survival, while Frederick, basically a total sociopath who kills animals for fun, has to take some medicine so the bite on his leg heals properly. Boo hoo, the dog he tormented bit him. super sweet best pal posted:"Don't be racist or some big guy will gently caress you up." A good moral. It was always very confusing to me, because in German Nikolaus is not only the saint, but also somebody who brings sweets on december 6th, but also kind of Santa Clause sometimes maybe and in this story he's huge and I have no idea if it's always the same Nikolaus and where Knecht Ruprecht is.

A Strange Aeon posted:Anyone have this one in English? It almost makes me cry to tell What foolish Harriet befell. Mamma and Nurse went out one day And left her all alone at play. Now, on the table close at hand, A box of matches chanced to stand; And kind Mamma and Nurse had told her, That, if she touched them, they would scold her. But Harriet said: "Oh, what a pity! For, when they burn, it is so pretty; They crackle so, and spit, and flame: Mamma, too, often does the same." The pussy-cats heard this, And they began to hiss, And stretch their claws, And raise their paws; "Me-ow," they said, "me-ow, me-o, You'll burn to death, if you do so." But Harriet would not take advice: She lit a match, it was so nice! It crackled so, it burned so clear— Exactly like the picture here. She jumped for joy and ran about And was too pleased to put it out. The Pussy-cats saw this And said: "Oh, naughty, naughty Miss!" And stretched their claws, And raised their paws: "'Tis very, very wrong, you know, Me-ow, me-o, me-ow, me-o, You will be burnt, if you do so." The fire has caught her apron string And see! oh, what dreadful thing! The fire has caught her apron-string; Her apron burns, her arms, her hair— She burns all over everywhere. Then how the pussy-cats did mew— What else, poor pussies, could they do? They screamed for help, 'twas all in vain! So then they said: "We'll scream again; Make haste, make haste, me-ow, me-o, She'll burn to death; we told her so." So she was burnt, with all her clothes, And arms, and hands, and eyes, and nose; Till she had nothing more to lose Except her little scarlet shoes; And nothing else but these was found Among her ashes on the ground. And when the good cats sat beside The smoking ashes, how they cried! "Me-ow, me-oo, me-ow, me-oo, What will Mamma and Nursey do?" Their tears ran down their cheeks so fast, They made a little pond at last.
