• endings from the Tatar book:

1. Snow White: "The wicked woman let out a curse, and she was so paralyzed with fear that she didn't know what to do. At first she didn't want to go to the wedding feast. But she never had a moment's peace after that and had to go see the young queen. When she entered, Snow White recognized her right away. The queen was so terrified that she just stood there and couldn't budge an inch. Iron slipped had already been heated up for her over a fire of coals. They were brought in with tongs and set up right in front of her. She had to put on the red-hot iron shoes and dance in them until she dropped to the ground dead." pg 94
2. Sleeping Beauty: "No sooner had the prince touched Briar Rose's lips than she woke up, opened her eyes, and smiled sweetly at him. They went down the stairs together. The king, the queen, and the entire court had awoken, and they were all staring at each other in amazement. The horses in the courtyard stood up and shook themselves. The hounds jumped to their feet and wagged their tails. The doves pulled their heads out from under their wings, looked around, and flew off into the fields. The flies began crawling on the walls. the fire in the kitchen flickered, flared up, and began cooking the food again. The roast started to sizzle. The cook slapped the boy so hard that he let out a screech. The maid finished plucking the hen. The wedding of Briar Rose and the prince was celebrated in great splendor, and the two lived out their days in happiness." pg 104
3. Rumpelstiltskin: "On the third day the messenger returned and said: 'I couldn't find a single new name, but when I rounded a bend in the forest at the foot of a huge mountain, a place so remote that the foxes and hares bid each other goodnight, I came across a little hut. A fire was burning right in front of the hut, and a really strange little man was dancing around the fire, hopping on one foot and chanting: 'tomorrow I brew, today I bake, Soon the child is mine to take. Oh what luck to win this game, Rumpelstiltskin is my name.' You can imagine how happy the queen was to hear that name. The little man returned and asked: 'Well, Your Majesty, who am I?' The Queen replied: 'Is your name Conrad?' 'No, it's not.' 'Is your name Harry?' 'No, it's not.' 'Could your name possibly be Rumpelstiltskin?' 'The Devil told you that, the Devil told you!' the little man screamed, and in his rage he stamped his right foot so hard that it went into the ground right up to his waist. Then in fury he seized his left foot with both hands and tore himself in two." pg 130
4. The Frog Prince: "When they had covered a good distance, the prince heard a cracking noise behind him, as if something had broken. He turned around and cried out: 'Heinrich, the coach is falling apart!' 'No, My Lord, it's not the coach, But a hoop from round my heart, Which was in sheer pain, When you were down in the spring, Living there as a frog.' Two more times the prince heard the cracking noise, and he was sure that the coach was falling apart. But it was only the sound of the hoops breaking from around Faithful Heinrich's chest, for his master had been set free and was happy." pg 122
5. Rapunzel: "The prince wandered around in misery for many years and finally reached the wilderness where Rapunzel was just barely managing to survive with the twins- a boy and a girl- to whom she had given birth. The prince heard a voice that sounded familiar to him, and so he followed it. When he came within sight of the person singing, Rapunzel recognized him. She threw her arms around him and wept. Two of those tears dropped into the prince's eyes, and suddenly he could see as before, with clear eyes. The prince went back to his kingdom with Rapunzel, and there was great rejoicing. They lived in happiness and good cheer for many, many years." pg 114
6. Jack and the Beanstalk: "But Jack jumped down and got hold of the axe and gave a chop at the beanstalk which cut it half in two. The ogre felt the beanstalk shake and quiver, so he stopped to see what was the matter. Then Jack gave another chop with the axe, and the beanstalk was cut in two and began to topple over. Then the ogre fell down and broke his crown, and the beanstalk came toppling after. Then Jack showed his mother the golden harp, and what with showing that and selling the golden eggs, Jack and his mother became very rich, and he married a great princess, and they lived happily ever after." pg 144
