alot of orriginal fairy tales are grusome, aparently in the orriginal rumplestiltskin (excuse spelling) he ends up keeping the baby, and i’ve heard a version of repunsel where she ends up pregnant with twins and the prince gets his eyes cut out, i’ve also read one called the goose girl, where a princess gets threatened by her maid to switch places, so the maid goes to the castle and is going to marry the princesses groom (arranged marriage to a prince) while the princess is stuck with the geese, then her horse (who is a talking horse and saw everything) gets his head chopped off by order of the princess (maid) but the real princess pays the guy who killed the horse to pin the head up in a tunnell that she takes the geese through every day and whenever she passes it she talks to it, and it replies!!! this chopped off head… you can read the rest of the storey yourself. also I know a bit about that storey with the chopped off hands, though in the one I read it was the devil who ordered her hands chopped off because a farmer (her father) made a deal with the devil, the devil would give him and his family great riches, if he (the devil) could have what is behind the farmers houce, the onlything the farmer thought was behind his houce was an apple tree so he agrees, then instantly his clothes change and bla bla bla, the devil comes to collect the girl once but she is in a white chalk circle whearing white clothes and is completley clean, so the davil can’t take her and orders the farmer to make sure she dosn’t wash for a week, when the devil returned a week later the farmers daughter was filthy but the tears running down into her hands cleaned them and made them white and again the devil could not take her, so he orders the farmer to chop off her handes, and he does and a week later the devil comes again, but the tears this time clean her stumps,(previously hands) and he is reppeled again and can’t come back again cus they he can’t come more then 3 times (why I don’t know) then she asks her father to tye her hands together and she walks away a king sees her they get married bla bla bla, same as your storey, only when they send word of the baby the devil is the one to change the notes, and when the one from the king is changed it says to cut out both the baby and the girls eyes an toungs (snow white moment) the queen instead cuts out a dear and her babys bla bla bla (oh and the girl has a pair of silver hands that the king had made for her) so the girl and her baby travle into the forest and she is looked after by the forest people, the king comes back and the queen (his mum) showes him the eyes and toungs and he is horrified, his mum realises about the switch and tells him that his wife and child are in the forrest so he goes into the forest and fasts (no food!! no water!!! why??? I have no idea) then he finaly collapses at the door step of this houce and when he wakes up a woman who looks like his wife is cleaning his face, a little boy walks in and asks who he is, “thats your father” the woman says (or something like that) and the king says that that dosn’t make sence for the woman in the room has hands then she takes out two silver hands off a shelf, the silver hands of his wife “but how did you get hands??”the king asks and she says that because she had taken so much suffering and worked so hard throught her life that she had been granted with new hands then the little boy interups and says “but my father is dead” and the woman who is acting odly hostile explains “no. he just wanted US dead” then the king explains how the letters where switched and they all ride back to the castle and live happily ever after :p hope that helps a little with the moral to the storey, hard work and hardships will eventualy get you a happily ever after oh and don’t make deals with the davil and what ever else you get from that storey!!!
