GRIMM FAIRY TALES. Brothers Grimm with "The Frog King, or Iron Henry," where a princess, after losing her golden ball in a well, reluctantly promises a frog companionship in exchange for retrieving it, later discovering the frog is a bewitched prince. In "Cat and Mouse in Partnership," a cat deceives a mouse into storing food for winter but ultimately consumes it all, leading to the mouse's demise. "Our Lady's Child" tells of a poor woodcutter whose daughter is taken by the Virgin Mary to Heaven, where she disobeys and opens a forbidden door, resulting in her fall to Earth and a life of hardship until she repents. "The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was" follows a simple-minded youth who seeks to learn how to shudder, ultimately encountering spirits without success until a clever scheme involving a cold water bucket teaches him the sensation. Finally, "The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids" narrates the tale of a cunning wolf that tricks a mother goat's kids into letting him in their home, leading to their peril, though they are eventually rescued.
