Thanks, Desiree. So is that Disney's version or the classic?
well, Disney was the first I was exposed to, but I have read so many diffenent versions of many of them. Disney makes them too 'happy' and 'clean'. Do you know what I mean? nothing really bad ever happens to characters in Disney (except the bad guys of course), but in the originals (and I use this term to desrcibe the versions found in cultures the world over), the characters are darker and have more real life experiences. the stories are meant for adults, not children...
hmmm.... I went off on a tangent. Oh well, guess thats because I studied a bit of fairy tale history a few years back.
