Fairy Tales were gruesome and brutal and meant to scare children into doing what they were told.
As a kid I remember the phrase “me-au, me-ow, me-au, me-ow, you’ll burn to death if you do so!” Guess this is where it came from.

I remember having a book with this exact image in it. I think it was called “Der Struwwelpeter” and it was full of this stuff.
Me too! It also included several other similar fates for children that misbehaved!
This image is exactly from the Struwwelpeter.
Read some Max und Moritz
Dudes ended up being milled by an angry miller.
Yeah, fuck around and find out.
Struwwelpeter is absolutely not a fairy tale though. Fairy tales can be gruesome in their own way, but nothing to do with this story - it’s by a single author.
That’s from “Struwwelpeter”. She played with fire.
Even though minz and mauz told her not to smh
Lesson for parents, cats aren’t good for parenting.
Pro tip: when you hire a babysitter, make sure they are not a cat.
She really had it coming.
Yes her fault, why did she play with the fire though?? German fairytales are just realistic 👍
Her first mistake was being a child in a german folktale
Not a folk tale either. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struwwelpeter
I laughed too much about this. Really a good one.
Yeah she should have opted to be a Disney princess
Because there were no games on her phone
shows block of wood
It’s not a fairy tale.

Talk about Grim.
(Sighh)
English version: they lived happily ever after German version: they got eaten by animals
Well, she doesn’t get eaten. She plays with fire when her parents are out and burns to death. The cats are just mourning her.
In the same book there are some other interesting children stories like the kid who refuses to eat soup and starves to death. Or the kid who sucks on its thumbs until a tailor comes and cuts them off with huge scissors.
The kid who refuses to eat soup is completely me
Cocomelon in a nutshell
Miau! Mio! Miau! Mio!
Props to Minz und Maunz. Got to be my favourite characters.
Das Kind brennt lichterloh.
And they smoldered happily ever after
“…Und ze cats feasted on her body for days.”
You mean on her ashes?
