Week 13 Reading Diary: Grimm (LibriVox)

For this week I decided to read one of the Grimm's unit. These were my favorite parts.
The Frog Prince (source: wikipedia)
The Frog Prince
  • a princess went for a walk with her favorite ball. She couldn't catch it and it rolled away.
  • the frog helped her out.
  • she forgot about the frog.
  • the frog found the palace and the king said that since she promised it, she has to keep her word and let it live with her.
  • after 3 nights, the frog turned into a prince.
  • he was cursed by a witch. It will be broken once he is helped out of the spring, allowed to eat from the princess's plate, and sleep in her bed for 3 nights.
  • they got married. 
Rapunzel
  • the man and woman had trouble conceiving. 
  • one day the queen saw rampion in the neighbor's garden and wanted some. The man climbed over the wall to get it for her.
  • when he went back the next day, the enchantress caught him. She allowed him on one condition: that she have the child.
  • once the child was born, the enchantress took her. At the age of twelve, she was locked in a tower.
  • the prince came by Rapunzel's tower.
  • Dame Gothel found out and tricked the prince. She pushed him off the tower.
  • Rapunzel found him, and her tears cured him.
The Straw, the Coal, and the Bean

  • the straw, coal, and bean all escaped from their death.
  • they all died anyway.
  • they came to a stream, and the straw stretched itself to act as a bridge. 
  • the coal got to the middle, got scared, stopped, and burned the straw in half. The coal also fell in and burned out.
  • the bean laughed so hard it burst.
