The Real Grimm Fairy Tales

A poll from musicMagpie has found that while parents are still putting their young ones to sleep with the help of fairy tales designed to ease us them into dreamland but many altering the ending due to them being just too scary.  
The top tales that now come with parental alternative endings are Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs and The Gingerbread Man believing it’s 'cruel' that Red, the Gingerbread Man and two the three pigs end up getting eaten.
Also on the list are Peter Pan, Rumpelstiltskin and The Pied Piper of Hamlin who tricks children into following him, Cinderella, who was forced to do all of the chores and Sleeping Beauty as she is kissed without her consent and even Pinocchio is changed as he runs away from home and lies to people but even these stories are toned down versions of the originals.
In the actual stories, The Pied Pier of Hamlin has him drowning the children of a village when he doesn't receive payment for ridding the town of a rat infestation while in Pinocchio, Geppetto is jailed for child abuse, Pinocchio squishes the talking cricket with a hammer for preaching to him and after he runs away, is kidnapped by bandits who hang him from an oak tree and leave him until he dies.
Little Red Riding Hood never makes it to Grandma's House and is eaten by the wolf, Peter Pan murders any children in Neverland who break his rule of 'never growing up' and Rumpelstiltskin, so angry that the Millers daughter has guessed his name, grabs his own legs and rips himself in half.
In the original Sleeping Beauty tale, she is raped while unconscious by the Prince and rather than kiss is awoken by the crying of the twins she gave birth to while asleep and Cinderella kills her first stepmother, her ugly sisters cut off their toes and heels to try and make the glass slipper fit and at the wedding of Cinderella and the handsome Prince, two pigeons peck out their eyes.
Not much singing, dancing or fairy dust in these tales but lots to make sure the kids sleep with a night light on.
