Miau! Mio! Miau! Mio!
Das Kind brennt lichterloh.
Props to Minz und Maunz. Got to be my favourite characters.
That's from "Struwwelpeter". She played with fire.
Even though minz and mauz told her not to smh
Lesson for parents, cats aren't good for parenting.
Pro tip: when you hire a babysitter, make sure they are not a cat.
Yes her fault, why did she play with the fire though?? German fairytales are just realistic 👍
It's not a fairy tale.

Talk about Grim.
(Sighh)
Fairy Tales were gruesome and brutal and meant to scare children into doing what they were told.
English version: they lived happily ever after German version: they got eaten by animals
Well, she doesn't get eaten. She plays with fire when her parents are out and burns to death. The cats are just mourning her.
In the same book there are some other interesting children stories like the kid who refuses to eat soup and starves to death. Or the kid who sucks on its thumbs until a tailor comes and cuts them off with huge scissors.
Cocomelon in a nutshell
The kid who refuses to eat soup is completely me
I remember having a book with this exact image in it. I think it was called "Der Struwwelpeter" and it was full of this stuff.
Me too! It also included several other similar fates for children that misbehaved!
This image is exactly from the Struwwelpeter.
“…Und ze cats feasted on her body for days.”
You mean on her ashes?
Struwwelpeter is absolutely not a fairy tale though. Fairy tales can be gruesome in their own way, but nothing to do with this story - it's by a single author.
Read some Max und Moritz
Dudes ended up being milled by an angry miller.
Yeah, fuck around and find out.
