‘Aha!’ she cried mockingly, ‘you would fetch your dearest, but the beautiful bird sits no longer singing in the nest; the cat has got it, and will scratch out your eyes as well. Rapunzel is lost to you; you will never see her again.’

Rapunzel—Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

‘ The man had not known one happy hour since he had left the children in the forest; the woman, however, was dead. Gretel emptied her pinafore until pearls and precious stones ran about the room, and Hansel threw one handful after another out of his pocket to add to them. Then all anxiety was at an end, and they lived together in perfect happiness.’

Hansel and Gretel—Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

From The Project Gutenberg Etext Fairy Tales , by the Grimm Brothers, April, 2001 [Etext #2591]
