    In the version of Rumpelstiltskin my fairytale book had him angrily stamp his foot so hard that the earth opened up and he fell into hell! Flying away on a soup spoon is much more PG! 😂

    I just cam here for the reverse engineering but then it turned into STORY TIME?? Okay, instant subscribing, that was so cute and wholesome and took me back to my childhood of my mom reading to me. What a lovely idea instead of boring montages and music.

    the soup spoon is definitely the pg version of Rumpelstilzchen! when i was a kid in the 2000s in Germany, he ripped himself apart in anger. "Das hat Dir der Teufel gesagt!" (the devil told you that!)

      ​​@@stephanemamiHe stomps the floor so hard his leg drops in to the groin. Then he grabs his other leg and tears himself apart. *Then* in an extended version, during the baptism of the child three old women appear, claiming to be aunts, but actually fairies bent on protecting the miller's daughter from the king. Each of them is disfigured in a specific way brought about by spinning: Coarse fingers, a saggy lower lip from constantly licking her fingers and a huge, flat right foot from pedaling the spinning wheel. Seeing them, the king forbids his wife to ever do any spinning again. 😂

      @@ClaudiaArnold you are mixing two fairy tales together. I know the one with the three spinning aunts as the reason a king forbids his wife from ever spinning again as a seperate tale.
      There are some similar elements but in my Grimms tales book they are seperate and have differences.
      The one with the spinnster aunts has no spinning straw into gold, she just claimed to be an incredible spinner even though she can't spin and there is no Rumplestiltskin, the aunts help her from the start. Also no baby as payment.

      IDK if this was her reason, but in general the side seams help stabilize and prevent sagging, so they aren't just for attaching two pieces of fabric together.
