The Old Witch - The Brothers Grimm

The thumbnail is the Rani who also had a knack for turning people into wood! Poor Luke 'twas turned into a tree!

I noticed that originally, the thumbnail image for this video was a picture of Sarah Pailin. Any reason why you changed it?

“The witch is a wicked old woman.”

There’s that alliteration again.

Thanks for sharing that one. I had not heard it before. Yeah.. I agree about the thumbnail too. Hee hee hee.

[Gisburne2000]

@gorikuri Unfortunately I've had to change it - for a video like this to get significantly more views than the others around it can only mean that people came here because they thought they were getting Sarah Palin commentary. I was forgetting how shallow people are :o|

[Gisburne2000]

The choice of thumbnail for this video was all too easy :o)

@Gisburne2000 Disappointing, though.

Love this story... the ending is so happy.

@Elenkhos In times of rising fuel costs, it's always good to know that there are alternative energy sources.

Reminds me of Yahweh. He really dug killing disobedient kiddos. Of course, The Brothers Grimm are better writers.

I wanted to show that my ‘naughty children die’ theme follows in the very best of children’s story-telling traditions. What better way than to go back to the Brothers Grimm, whose re-tellings of much older folk tales certainly don’t pull any punches.
