My favourite German fairy tale has to be this one.
The harrowing morality tale, teaching you that you better stay in your lane, peasant, especially if you are a Bratwurst!
Lmfao the dog said the sausage was… carrying forged letters? Wtf lol
Dog was working for the Prussian secret police, ACAB has always been true, smh fr fr
And the bird was just like yeah sure that seems like a thing sausage would do.
That must be some political analogy, with the forged letters.

Or whoever told the version of the story that ended up being written down decided to insert a joke into it. I mean, that whole bit could have been left out; the dog could have already eaten the sausage by the time the bird got there.
When mealtime approached, she would slither through the porridge or the vegetables, and thus everything was greased and salted and ready to eat.
My mom was not the BEST cook in the world…
Well, that was grimm… I’ll see myself out.
Are you telling me your fairytale wedding does not include doves hacking out the eyes of your stepsister or your stepmother dancing to her death in shoes of red hot iron? Boooring.

Miau! Mio! Miau! Mio! Wo sind die armen Eltern wo?
Most old fairy tales originally had endings like this.
It really makes the kids better people. I mean, look at us Germans, we’ve never done anything wrong…
I love, that the meme used the actual picture of a German fairytale.
Its called “The Dreadful Story Of Pauline And The Matches” - “Die gar traurige Geschichte mit dem Feuerzeug”
… But Pauline would not take advice, She lit a match, it was so nice! It crackled so, it burned so clear,– Exactly like the picture here. She jumped for joy and ran about, And was too pleased to put it out. …
Now see! oh, see! a dreadful thing! The fire has caught her apron string: Her apron burns, her arms, her hair; She burns all over, everywhere. …
Pauline was burnt with all her clothes, And arms and hands, and eyes and nose; Till she had nothing more to lose Except her little scarlet shoes; And nothing else but these was found Among her ashes on the ground. And when the good cats sat beside The smoking ashes, how they cried, “Me-ow, me-o! Me-ow, me-oo! What will Mamma and Nursey do?” Their tears ran down their cheeks so fast They made a little pond at last.
I think nowadays the audience of German fairy tales is 97% American meme kids
Worse still, your fairytale has a Polish (The Witcher monsters) middle and a Danish (HC Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling) beginning.
My god I had a book with fairy tales as a kid with this exact image in it. It was called „Der Struwwelpeter“
Me too. Easily recognizable.
She’s so hot right now
Paulinchen war allein Zuhaus, ihre Eltern waren beide aus,
