[ In her bedtime story ]
*Actual headline for this post

When we talk about children's folktale, everyone will imagine how happy the ending is. The cliche' ending part sounds : "They live happily ever after..." make the story evergreen for us. Now i'll reveal the truth beyond these beautiful ending tale. Lets see how different the storyline is after Disney make some 'renovation'. Just to make it a suitable genre for a grown up kids like me *erkkk hahahahehehe

1) CINDERELLA

After :

- In the modern Cinderella fairy tale we have the beautiful Cinderella swept off her feet by the prince and her wicked step sisters

- Cinderella has lost her slipper and the prince is determined to have only the girl whose small foot can fit into the slipper

- The stepsisters nearly break their necks for the chance to try on the shoe, but have no luck fitting their large feet into the shoe

- Finally the prince met the real princess whose fit with the glass slipper. They live happily ever after..bla333

Before :

- Heroine was actually called Rhodopis, not Cinderella

-The story was very similar to the modern one with the exception of the glass slippers and pumpkin coach

-In this version, the nasty step-sisters cut off parts of their own feet in order to fit them into the glass slipper, hoping to fool the prince

-The prince is alerted to the trickery by two pigeons who peck out the step sister’s eyes (ouchh...mesti sakit kan!!!)

- The step sisters end up spending the rest of their lives as blind beggars while Cinderella gets to lounge about in luxury at the prince’s castle.

2) SLEEPING BEAUTY

After :

- In the modern sleeping beauty, the lovely princess is put to sleep when she pricks her finger on a spindle...caused by the curse of the black fairy

- She sleeps for one hundred years when a prince finally arrives, kisses her, and awakens her

- They fall in love, marry, and live happily ever after

(huhh 100% completely diff from the original version)

Before :

- The original tale is not so sweet. In the original, the young woman is put to sleep because of a prophesy(revelation of divine will), rather than a curse

- And it isn’t the kiss of a prince which wakes her up...but the king seeing her asleep, and rather fancying having a bit, rapes her

- After nine months she gives birth to two children (while she is still asleep)...haha nonsense btul!

- One of the children sucks her finger which removes the piece of flax (a widely cultivated plant) which was keeping her asleep

- She wakes up to find herself raped and the mother of two kids.

3) SNOW WHITE

After :

- Fortunately disney hasn’t done too much damage to this tale

- The editing part only on magical kiss and the stepmother, the Queen part : the Queen asks a huntsman to kill her and bring her heart back as proof. Instead, the huntsman can’t bring himself to do it and returns with the heart of a boar.

Before :

- In the original tale, the Queen actually asks for Snow White’s liver and lungs, which are to be served for dinner that night!

- Besides (surprise surprise surprise)....the Queen actually is Snow White's biological mother. Drove by a jealousy of her own daughter's radiance, she asked the huntman to kill her.

- Snow White wakes up when she is jostled by the prince’s horse as he carries her back to his castle, not from a magical kiss.

- The shake up dislodged the bite of poisonous apple from her throat and Snow White returned to life. What the prince wanted to do with a dead girl’s body I will leave to your imagination

- The tale ends with the Queen being forced to dance to death in red hot iron shoes.

4) THE LITTLE MERMAID

The different part only on the 3 endings. Original version, modified version, and Disney version (must expect a beautiful ending for Disney, haha)

After :

- In the Disney version, the film ends with Ariel the mermaid being changed into a human so she can marry Eric

- They marry in a wonderful wedding attended by humans and merpeople

(abbrv of mermaid people ^^)

Before :

- In the very first and original version by Hans Christian Andersen (HCA), the mermaid sees the Prince marry a princess and she despairs. She is offered a knife with which to stab the prince to death, but rather than do that she jumps into the sea and dies by turning to froth.

- Then HCA modified the ending : Andersen modified the ending slightly to make it more pleasant. In his new ending, instead of dying when turned to froth, she becomes a “daughter of the air” waiting to go to heaven

- So, frankly, she is still dead for all intents and purposes.

5) LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

The original French version (by Charles Perrault) of the tale was not quite so nice...y??

Continue reading k!

After :

- The version of this tale that most of us are familiar with ends with Riding Hood being saved by the woodsman who kills the wicked wolf

- She finally met her grandmother without any injury

Before :

- In the real version, the little girl is a well bred young lady who is given false instructions by the wolf when she asks the way to her grandmothers

- Foolishly riding hood takes the advice of the wolf and ends up being eaten. And here the story ends Y___Y

- There is no woodsman, no grandmother – just a fat wolf and a dead Red Riding Hood

- The moral to this story is to not take advice from strangers (what a good approach..*_*)

6) HANSEL AND GRATEL

After :

- In the widely known version of Hansel and Gretel, we hear of two little children who become lost in the forest

- Then, they eventually finding their way to a gingerbread house which belongs to a wicked witch

- The children end up enslaved for a time as the witch prepares them for eating

- They figure their way out and throw the witch in a fire and escape.

Before :

- Instead of a witch, the original version have a devil. The story is called as 'The Lost Children'

- Now the wicked old devil is tricked by the children (in much the same way as Hansel and Gretel)

- but the wicked old devil works it out and puts together a sawhorse ( a stand for timber during sawing) to put one of the children on to bleed

- The children pretend not to know how to get on the sawhorse so the devil’s wife demonstrates. While she is lying down the kids slash her throat and escape.

7) GOLDILOCKS AND THE 3 BEARS

After :

- In this heart warming tale, we hear of pretty little goldilocks who finds the house of the three bears

- She sneaks inside and eats their food, sits in their chairs, and finally falls asleep on the bed of the littlest bear

- When the bears return home they find her asleep, she awakens and escapes out the window in terror.

Before :

- The original tale has two possible variations

- 1) In the first, the bears find Goldilocks and rip her apart and eat her

- 2) In the second, Goldilocks is actually an old hag who jumps out of a window when the bears wake her up. The story ends by telling us that she either broke her neck in the fall, or was arrested for vagrancy and sent to the “House of Correction”

(Goldilocks tu org tua gile rupenye....hahaha).

8) THE PIED PIPER

After :

- In the tale of the Pied Piper, we have a village overrun with rats

- A man arrives dressed in clothes of pied (a patchwork of colors) and offers to rid the town of the vermin (destructive small animals and insects)

- The villagers agree to pay a vast sum of money if the piper can do it , and he does. He plays music on his pipe which draws all the rats out of the town.

- When he returns for payment, the villagers won’t cough up so the Pied Piper decides to rid the town of children too!

- The piper draws the children to a cave out of the town. And when the townsfolk finally agree to pay up, he sends them back.

Before :

- In the darker original, the piper leads the children to a river where they all drown

(except a lame boy who couldn’t keep up)

Okay...lets stop here. I'll leave Beauty and The Beast, Rapunzel, Jack and The Beanstalk, etc for ur own googleyy.
