Summary: A man died living his three sons a mill, a donkey, and a cat. The oldest took the mill, the second the donkey, leaving the third with the cat. Thinking he would starve to death without the help of his brothers he started asking the cat what to do besides kill him and skin him. The cat said if he would provide him with a bag and boots, he would not be sorry. So he did so and the cat caught him much food and took some to the king in his name. One day the cat came up with a plan. He would have his master pretend to be robbed while bathing and when the King came out on his carriage ride with his daughter he would recoginze his name and help him. This happned, after which he rode with the King and his daughter through the lands. The cat made it so everyone the crossed said that they were working the third sons land. He even killed an ogre so he could present the King with a castle. The King gave his daughter to the son and they were married.
My Reaction: The ones were interestingly different. They were the original stories I grew up on, but there where huge parts of the stories I have never heard before. I really enjoyed them, maybe better then the disney versions where no one dies.
Potential Problems: One again Murder, and children being eaten!
Recommendations: I would say these would be a fun change for High School students.
