“At the sight of this the two women, who were both with child, became so upset that they gave birth that very night to two babies who were not shaped like human beings but like apes. They ran off into the forest, and it is from them that we have the race of apes.” incredible

Why is this Swan Lake but racist and she’s a duck???

“The queen, however, was unable to love the king because he did not have a nose.” “…the white horse stood up on its hind legs and turned into a prince.” A decent number of these stories are ridiculous but why do these lines exist. Wdym the king doesn’t have a nose? Since when? Is it just a hole?? And why horse turn into prince if the guy isn’t going to marry said prince lol

There always has to be antisemitism in these old stories doesn’t there

I might finish this eventually lol
