The Girl With No Hands and Other Tales
Top Create a free website or blog at WordPress. After seven years, he found the hut and lay down to sleep with a handkerchief to cover his face. Then, the handkerchief fell from his face and directed her son to put it back on. The child became angry. He had been told that God was man's one and only father.
The king got up to ask who they were, and she told him. He said that his wife had silver hands, but hers were natural.
She replied that God had given them back to her. She retrieved her silver hands that had fallen off and showed the king.

The king rejoiced at finding his wife. They both went back to their kingdom and lived happily ever after. The Brothers Grimm altered the tale they had collected, incorporating a motif found in other fairy tales, of a child unwittingly promised a motif found in " Nix Nought Nothing ", " The Nixie of the Mill-Pond ", " The Grateful Prince ", and " King Kojata " , but not in the original version of this one.
Indeed, one study of German folk tales found that of 16 variants collected after the publication of Grimms' Fairy Tales , only one followed the Grimms in this opening. In starker versions of the tale found around the world, the maiden's dismemberment comes when she refuses the sexual advances of her father or her brother, as in the Xhosa version of the tale, "A Father Cuts Off His Daughter's Arms". This is not the commonest form of fairy tale to contain the father who attempts to marry his daughter.
The Girl Without Hands
Various attempts have been made to explain why her hands are the target of her father's -- or sometimes her brother's -- rage at being thwarted, but the motif, though widespread, has never been clear, and when motives are supplied, they vary greatly. In "Penta of the Chopped-off Hands", Basile went to great lengths to provide a motif for his heroine's actions: The mother falsely accused of giving birth to strange children is in common between tales of this type and that of Aarne-Thompson , where the woman has married the king because she has said she would give birth to marvelous children, as in " The Dancing Water, the Singing Apple, and the Speaking Bird ", " Princess Belle-Etoile ", " Ancilotto, King of Provino ", " The Wicked Sisters ", and " The Three Little Birds ".
In the second part of the tale, the Brothers Grimm also departed from the commonest folklore themes.
