Ineffable Wingbolt Milla Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 The foolish giant...I think I've heard of that story. Is it the one where this Giant falls in love with this beautiful but cruel hearted (although he doesn't know the second part). And she tells him to prove his love to her bying filling a certain hole in the rock with his own blood. She neglects to tell him a vital fact about this hole. It ends with him bleeding to death anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt DesertPlah Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 … Not quite the foolish giant I was thinking of. I got this one from a children's storybook. Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Milla Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I got the story from a story book, honest. Anyway, do you think children's stories weren't ever full of violence and bloodshed? I have heard that in the earliest forms of Little Red Riding Hood ended with said girl being eaten by the Wolf (In a gory way of course.)

Ineffable Wingbolt DesertPlah Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 That wouldn't surprise me. Though I do know the version of LRRH I first read had a woodsman save the day by killing the wolf. He then had to cut open the wolf to get the grandma (that may actually be a nice-ified version of the original?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
