Once upon a time a king had three daughters, but the two older ones were so wicked - for they could not have the red skirt - that they would not even scare away from murdering their sister. Despite hiding their sister in a violin, a penniless wood-cutter finds her. During his wonderous travels he visits just the city where the king’s daughter went through this diresome deed. To the ungodliness of the wicked princesses the sad song of exactly the violin, in which they had hidden their sister, brings light. This is how the youngest princess is reborn and returns home, where she gets the red skirt.

Girl: *picks berries*
Her older sisters: so you have chosen, death.
There's a lot of sibling rivalry in Hungary
Isn't it all over the world?
🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
@@ryuukakhadijah7766nope
What about the poor blind man who had his only source of income stolen? He didn't have a happy ending...
He has more money than the kingdom he could do whatever he wants plus he's old
@@vogtrina that wasnt the blind man... have u even watched the vid
I think there’s another version to this tale but it’s very different in its setting. The other version goes that it was a poor man who had three beautiful daughters but it was the youngest who was the favorite and got all sorts of attention. The two sisters murder their youngest sister in a fit of jealousy and buried her out in the woods. Years later a magnificent tree grew upon her grave and a craftsman who specialized in fiddles harvested the wood from the tree and made a wondrous fiddle. However, whenever someone played the fiddle it sang a sad song, much like in this story but with more details and how she missed her home. People who bought the fiddle kept returning it for they insisted it was possessed by spirit and they didn’t want it bringing them bad luck.
The craftsmen then throws the fiddle away where it is discovered by a priest. The priest had a history with music and decided to try it out. The fiddle sang and he knew right away the fiddle was possessed by a troubled spirit. He takes the fiddle back to the church and plays the fiddle over and over to hear the spirits story. After hearing the entire song he learned that the spirit was that of a little girl whose family comes to his parish ever Sunday and who had disappeared years ago.
I’ll get to the end now - In the end he locks the church doors and plays the fiddle before the entire congregation where it points out the guild of her two sisters and what really happened to her. After the sisters crime is found out, the entire congregation was ready to lynch them but the fiddle plays automatically and begs for mercy on their part. Instead the sisters are sentenced to a lifetime of penance where they would look after the tree that grew upon their sisters grave, walk barefooted and ware black to Morne their sister. The fiddle ends up burned so as to free the younger sisters spirit and she departs into the next world.
That's a nice tale. I think I even prefer it
What this tale name I want to read full story.
this one is better version than the other one
"you killed me and no one knows" very subtle
The translation isn't right. In the original version it's "...my killers" for both older sisters. And when the father plays, it's "...my dear father". But they had to change it for the english version to make it rhyme I guess.
1) That escalated quickly.
2) “They lived Happily Ever After”
Me: Are you sure?!
I guess when death if your world is cheaper than in Dragon Ball universe
Nothing was more innocent than that little girl who was killed, but chose to forgive them
She probably understood that the reason they acted like that was because of their parents favoritism. While ite doesn't excuse their actions she had time to empathize with them and decided to forgive them rather than let them be punished. Being her parents favorite was probably punishment enough in her eyes.
@@loveluna9653 there was no favouritism the older girls look like they are in late teens and the younger below 8
Stop being childish
@@loveluna9653Cuál favoritismo? XD
This is one heck of a disturbing folktale. It's a good thing this one actually has a happy ending--not all variations of this tale do.
This kind of reminds me of a less-depressing version of the Scottish ballad The Twa Sisters.
The translation is...wrong
@@petehill7280 That's exactly what it is--basically the tale consists of one or two jealous siblings murdering the youngest one--could be due to a berry picking contest, a search for a magical item, a quest to win a princess, or fighting over a lover. It always ends up with the dead sibling being made into a musical instrument, be it a harp or a flute that plays by itself and exposes the murderer/murderers in the end. Depending on the versions, some end with the dead sibling coming back to life, others simply end with the murderers/murderer punished horribly and the victim does not come back to life.
@Doritos :space jam flavoured Not quite. The whole idea of the princess being a musical instrument is to expose her sisters' guilt and bring their unknown murder to light. Sure, she helped the poor man out as well, but usually the main reason for the transformation to a musical instrument is to expose the murderers-regardless of whether the main character comes back to life or not in the end. Some versions of this tale simply end with the murderers punished for their deed without the victim returning to life.
Most medieval folk tales are disturbing to us. We're more familiar with the bowdlerized/Disneyfied versions. This one is very similar to 'The Singing Bone', found in the collection of the Brothers Grimm.
With that prince chasing after the skirt, it's no wonder the sisters were ready to kill for it. lol
killing your youngest sibling over a skirt? :o
There is a Russian variant where a sister murders her brother when they are picking berries over a pair of red slippers that will be given to the one who picks the most berries.
Hell yeah!
Maybe that skirt was imported silk? I don't know. Still think it would've made much more sense if they murdered her over the throne. No sons are mentioned and she could've been her parents favorite.
I agree is completely stupid as they are ROYALTY. Like you could have most anything you want on a normal day but kill over a skirt??
Joseph's brothers had done almost the same. They plotted against him precisely over the colored tunic he had gained from their father. Joseph wasn't killed just because one of the brothers, Ruben, didn't approve of it.
The poor man earned so much money that he still wore torn clothes😂😂
This has Kanye written all over it😂😂
Everyone saying the sisters killed their youngest one for a skirt, but probably it went deeper than that. Not the first time the girls were put in a competitive situation, probably, and they've had enough of the younger, prettier, smarter sister that their parents probably favourited. Not justifying it lol, but as a psychologist, I always try to find a reason behind a person's bad behaviour.
Also the red skirt was a symbol of being the first to be able to get married, which in that time meant greater economic gain for a woman. Usually, the elder sisters would marry first by default.
There is no excuse for murdering a 5 year old. Yes people have reasons for things. But this is not one of them. No matter the psychology behind it. Sounds like you need to get some help yourself.
@@silversnow3186 it's not anyone fault just by digging deeper into the story and to be honest the parents are at fault too( big responsible) but wrong is wrong and killing is wrong. It's just that.
Youngest one: * has the most berries *
Other two: let's kill her.
Me: *WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY*
Never thanked RUclips shorts for making a short for these amazing tales. Love all these videos!
How could the older sisters be cruel enough to slaughter their little sister? Cowards.
NessLover94 Kids these days get murdered for the shoes on their feet or the fancy iPhone they have. Nothing has changed really.
To be fair, they were worse than Joseph's brothers.
NessLover94 That's right, although the futile reason - a garment - was the same.
Cain and Abel
@@NessLover94 True, but The only reason they didn't kill him is because Reuben stopped them.
The man "I have now more money than the king himself"!! Hahahaha!!
Hahaha, that grammar!
@@winddragonlundholm1792 I know hahahaha!!
Poor man's still illiterate.
"Hey sis, our lil sis is diligent so she'll get a new red skirt."
"Ok let's kill her."
Maybe the skirt is a versace or what
That skir show wich child is the favourite and wich one is able to get married.
i like how the good girl is always blonde lol
Blonde, gold, light. It looks bright and pretty therefore, angels.
@@theconfusedvampire are you saying that I'm not PRETTTTYYYYYY
@@fildzafinn4112 No, I'm pretty sure I said the opposite of that. XD
I like that because I am also blonde
And always the most beautiful
Today on Forensic Files Hungary, the horrific case of the little girl who got murdered and her corpse stuffed inside a fiddle
This is actually kinda dark for a folk tale, but from in my country, some folk tales are just as dark
Give us one
@@eyasaied4401 well, there was this story titled "batu belah batu bertangkup". I'm not sure how to translate it.
The story is about a poor woman who lives with her two children, a boy and a girl. They were so poor that they rarely eat, only rice with salt. One day, the mother came home from fishing and she got a fish that has eggs. She had been craving for the fish egg, so she took it home and cook it. She told her daughter that there are only 3 fish eggs. So each of them only eat one. Then, the mother goes to work. While she's at work, the daughter and the son ate the fish egg. The son, who is younger, told his sister that he want to eat more. The girl at first feels guilty, but she eventually gave their mother's fish egg to his brother. When the mother return home, she was so broken hearted and devastated because they didn't left any fish egg for her. The woman cried and ran off to a magical stone in the forest. There, she chants a spell, "batu belah batu bertangkup, tangkaplah aku, makanlah aku, anak aku tidak sayangkan aku," which mean "o magical stone, imprison me, eat me, my children don't love me anymore,". She chants that in tears. Then, the magic stone cracks open and the woman enters the stone. As soon as she enters, the stone immediately closes and eat the poor woman. When her children went to look for her at the stone, they only found a few strands of her hair stuck to the stone. They feel so guilty and sad, especially the girl because she betrayed her own mother. Then, they cut off the hair and bring it home.......
Well my country the good old USA doesn’t really have sad stories but my friend Andrew checked out a book with folk tales Andrew said it was really scary so I guess the USA is where scary lives I mean Stephen King lives here so I guess it’s the horror country
Foxy Roxy well, I believe you do have American folk tales. Many are native Americans, but there are some good examples of syncretism and mixing of native American tales with German, Irish and Anglo Saxon stories. If you are interested look up Linda Dégh who was a Hungarian folklorist and she emigrated to the US. She collected many stories and traditions of American folklore.
Killing someone over a skirt, not royal symbolism, literally a skirt! that's got to be sick. This is a weird story.
You clearly haven’t seen the story about the pig bladder, the hot coal and the straw. Now that is a weird story. I’m not sure what the moral you’re supposed to learn is or even if it had a real plot
Don't forget they killed her for a second hands red skirt wich the mother was wearing 😂
Dang,their sibling rivalry is so extreme that the sisters killed their younger sister just for a red skirt. :0
1-what brought her back to life?
2-what possible reason does she have to show mercy to cold blooded killers?
What might have brought her back from the dead is the truth of who killed her. And I think deep down, Betty still loved her sisters
Man - the younger sister had a second chance in life & learned to forgive - an innocent child would only do that 😊
How did the sisters fit their youngest sister's body into a fiddle? Those are so tiny. Also, it is so petty to kill someone for a skirt
So fair in these stories I’ve learned.
*dont be poor
*be the youngest
*be blond
Lol, that last scene tho!
Skirts must’ve been a thing back then…
The one who have red skirt will be able to get married .
Then the young princess got chased by pervert king
you made me laugh very hard
WTF?
I'm obsessed with this folktale
Just want to remind you of it
Love your videos. Thanks for posting.
Whaaattttttt the... Inside the freaking fiddle!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting that the older sisters were described as beautiful, usually the evil ones are ugly as sin.
and thats how it should be in a fairy tale
@@ZsH85 but this is not a fairy tail... and don't expect "usual" from hungarians :D
You knew something had to be wrong with the older sisters because of the long noses.
Is no one gonna talk about how the “wonderful fiddle music” played open strings? OwO
The sisters could've steal her berries.. Why kill her tho?
😱 I thought the Grimm Brothers tales were bad !
Who the heck kills someone then shove them in a fiddle why was this their first instinct
Who the heck *kills* someone?
Who knows with folktales
killing a child for a damn skirt goddamn this shit is twisted
I would never kill my younger sibling over a thing I wanted
How the hell can you live happily ever after with your sisters that tried to kill you?
She seems to have been very young when she died maybe she didnt understand exactlyv what happened to her or was just naturaly too kind
I thought so too.. 😅
Older siblings are always so envious in there stories.
I blame the parents. They seem to love putting their kids in competitive situations and show clear favouritism for the blondest/youngest/most attractive. It's no wonder the older/darker haired/less attractive siblings are salty as hell.
I agreed since it created the toxin environment in the household. I rewatched it and considered it unfair to the two elder sisters. Can't they make extra dresses for them too? It cannot be one.
The narrator tries so hard to rhyme "me" and "Betty."
The intro makes me happy for some reason..
just beautiful. like a motion comic book.
The moment you see a blonde, she is automatically the heroine
Poor little princess
Psychopathy twice in the same generation :/
They killed over a SKIRT!!!!
They killed their little sister over a freaking skirt what?!
The red skirt is the symbol of merriage .
@@user-xc1br1vo3d ohhhhhh
@sakura__star__dear9601 more than likely they felt neglected and put them to compete with each other didn't do any better
please stop me.I can't stop.
sooo king lock them in a tover... that sounds familiar. I hope some rondom prince doesnt try to save them but i mean what are the odds? ;) ;) (ha ha ha ha)
favorate story! X3
I never seen this episode of SVU before…
This is my first time hearing about this page I love it so far
1:49 we that escalated quickly.
The prince touched the princesses red skirt 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Conviction _is the weapon of Kings._
How did they fit her body in a fiddle???
Pieces
@@eddiesalvador7943 true, but isn't the hole in the fiddle really small? It would take ages to stuff a small child's body.
If the two elder sisters ever went to trial for killing their youngest and I would be the judge, I would say to them:
“That is literally the most idiotic murder motivation I’ve ever heard of. “
they played us like a damn fiddle
Um,what?How does a body fit in a fiddle?
This is a tale, everything can happen. :)
The animation suggests Erzsébet was dismembered. This is a variant of "The Singing Bone" and "Binnorie." Famed Canadian Loreena McKennitt has recorded the latter under the title "The Bonny Swans." Erzsébet's cheerful end is mostly seen in Scandinavian versions.
The same way that a goat can cut open a wolf and her children jump out. All while he's asleep.
Hungarian Folk Tales
lol
I think after beaten into a bloody mush it fit in there since most of the body is water, so they only put the solid parts in that was left of her. Maybe it was a bigger type of fiddle too. Probably broke the bones and skull with rocks to pieces to make them fit in.
Those elder sisters were really evil.
What a horrid story with a very happy ending. Didn't see either coming
Why are they fighting over a dress 🤦♀️
Holy shit this was a dark tale :O
That was NOT FOR KIDS.
Did a quick google, the story is the poor man and his fiddle. Even watched the actual episode ruclips.net/video/Z-g0KcgwBMI/видео.htmlsi=M3vazExVFknNdUX_ . There's no favoritism, it's just a dad picking up his youngest child. I'm not saying favoritism doesn't cause problems, but in the case of this story (like many folktales) the older sisters "were wicked in nature". The little sister even forgives the older two and asks her father to not imprison them for life in the tower. The King and Queen agree to not lock the two away.
Why are the main characters in these stories so merciful?😑
Kill? For a maid skirt?!
this story is brutal
and whete is the fiddler at the end? 😅
I cried
This is crazy dark!
Romanians and Hungarians getting united by this cartoon🤝
Horrific and sad!
I had my mom read this story and she was like: wait….WHAT DID THEY DO!? 😮😮😅
Why is it always the blonde one
so with stories likes these, I always wonder how theings could logically conclude for the evil sisters. Like with Cinderella - there's only ONE skirt, and if you're so greedy that you kill your baby sister over a skirt....(in Cinderella there's always only one prince, which is why I make that comparison). This story didn't address it at all, so did they kill the baby just to...get nothing?
i blame the parents. because they cant give the same amount of love and attention to his daughters
I blame them bc they sent their three daughters to the woods that house robbers without a soldier for protection
Murderous intent has never been this ridiculous over a skirt.
This story is similar to The Singing Bones. Both are great stories.
i read that story too was beautyful and realy sad realy similar too both about jealusi for power and murder . i had no idea this Grim tale th singing bones but now after read it thank you tell this :)
They killed their little sister over some berries, and a skirt... I don’t get it!? 🤔 That’s really messed up...
So dark
Yeah but I’m glad that this story has a very happy ending
So they just took the man fortune making fuddle
did y'all see the last slide? lmaoo
Wooooh it’s horrible ! They kill her AND cut her in piece to place her in a fiddles ! Such an horror story
Are these takes supposed to be for... Kids? :-:
Well that escalated quickly
1:52 literally every hungarian
WTF they set free the two sisters ?! They murder her !
Damn all this for a red skirt.
The king could of at least banished the older sisters
They killed Thier sisterjust for a red skirt? They could've just forced her to give it to them. I mean I know it's fictional story but still
Cool
All this for a skirt.
What am i gonna do now?!! I am neither blond nor the youngest!! In fact i am the eldest
This tales is so dark. Are you sure that this is not part of DC universe...?
Pffffffffttttt
Then the poor man challenged the devil
This reminds me of orange is the new black .
How?
oh she is blonde too😂😂😂
how come the only good people have blonde hair?
