LOL. darcyfarrow. It would be funny if Emma mentioned killing the dragon with a sword to Charming that way. Though she might not know that he was the one to put the egg in there. Who knows what Emma knows.
I have this image of Charming and Snow coming to the hospital (Snow still thinks Henry is dead, after all. And now she knows he’s her grandson!), everyone is discussing about the purple smoke and Emma mentions the bottle of love.
Charming: “The potion Rumple did with Snow and my hair? I put it in the belly of a beast.”
Emma: “Well, I got it out.”
Charming: “You fought a dragon? HERE?”
Emma: “Under the library …”
Henry: “Cool! I always wondered what was there.”
Emma: “I also saw a glass coffin …”
Snow: “…”😆
[adrotate group="5"]The Phoenix is a bird of fire that has many powers. When killed (or dying of natural causes) it falls to ashes and then is reborn within them. It is a never-ending cicle. That’s where the idiom “rise from the ashes” comes from. 🙂 The pheonix is a metaphor for that. It is also often used for people who never give up, no matter what has happened to them. It’s also a symbol for re-incarnation. It has loads of other meanings, stories, etc. Probably why they picked it as the place for Henry’s brith. 🙂
Exactly. Therefore they sometimes are quite short, not that best writeen and in some I wonder what purpose they had.
Did you already read The Beautiful Slave, NONNIE? If not, I’ll translate that one.
Not yet, nope. They have mostly concentrated on known fairy tales and children’s stories, Frederick and Kathryn aside.
There are just too many stories, ha ha. If we’re lucky, we’ll see some in future episodes/seasons. 🙂Unfortunately the quality of the footage isn’t the best, but the song is just perfect for our very own Snow White. 😀
Nope. He’s quite a famous Bavarian, öh, folklorist (no clue, how you say that in English, Volkskundler). He collected and wrote down Bavarian stories and fairy tales. Two years ago, they found about 500 stories in the archives of an institues with his name … Forgot how it was called. 🙁
Flower, she’s talking about the Franz Xaver von Schönwerth fairy tales. Over a hundred of them were published by Erika Eichenseer. The book’s called Prinz Roßzwifl und andere Märchen.
NONNIE, I’ve got a free week next week. I’ll try to translate a few more for you. 😉 I already did the Winterküberl one (a variation of the Rumpelstilskin one). I’ll post it below again. I’m not a good writer, so the flow truly isn’t the best. ^^ I’ll try my best with the other stories.
Winterküberl
(Winter=winter and Küberl is simply a Bavarian last name from the region it’s from)Once upon a time there lived a king who had a beautiful wife. The wife suddenly fell
ill. She got worse and finally died, because she couldn’t remember the name that would
have given her health.
During one time when the queen was still a child, she wandered through the thicket, got
separated from her group, climed a mountain and fell into a whole. She then came to a
cave where a mountain dwarf lived. He wanted to keep the child, but seeing that the little
girl was scared of him and cried to see her mother, he guided her to the forest edge. From
there she could see her home again. The mountain dwarf then told her: “Don’t forget
my name! As long as you remember it ,you’ll be healthy and prosperous and won’t die.
Woe betide you, should you forget! But also, you can’t tell anyone else, otherwise you’ll
fall and die.”
Once, the queen fell and because of that, she forgot the name and died. The king announced
that he would marry the woman who resembled his deceased wife the most.
Many tried, but in vain.
In one little town, however, lived a tailor’s daughter and she told her father: “I’ll go to see
the king. Maybe I’ll become his wife.” The father didn’t want her to go, but to no avail.
She went. While going through the forest she saw a dwarf jumping happily over a fire
and speaking:“Burn, fire, burn,
that the queen won’t tell,
that I’m called Winterküberl.”The tailor’s daughter made a mental note of that and when she came to the kind, she
truly resembled the deceased queen. Thus the tailor’s daughter became the new queen.
Later on, she found out why the old queen had to die. So, the tailor’s daughter remembered
what had happened in the forest, kept the name in mind and with that, luck,
health and life. She ruled many years happily and contend, even after her husband had
died.The End
Noooooo! 🙁 I can’t watch it!! I’m seriously gonna hit YouTube someday for not paying those stupid reproduction rights … <.<"
Always nice to have someone finally joining the conversation! 🙂
I’ve read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz just a few months ago (with the super cute pictures by W. W. Denslow). Have been reading through the Grimm tales since over a year ago (whenever I feel like it) and have also been skimming through Arabian Nights (still at the very beginning) and the Andersen tales.
I can recommend th Oscar Wilde fairy tales! Read them in January. Very good. I especially liked The Fisherman and his Soul. It’s a sort of variation of The Little Mermaid.What are your favourite fairy tales so far? 🙂 My Grimm ones are King Thrushbird and The Six Swans.
