Reading Diary A: Brothers Grimm (Crane)

My notes from the three stories of the Brother's Grimm unit by Lucy and Walter Crane are:

The Fisherman and His Wife. A fisherman, his wife, and a flounder (who is actually a magical prince?) are the characters.
Greed is a very bad thing is the lesson of the story.
I was amazed at how the wife kept on telling the husband to go ask the flounder for things, and he just kept on going! No matter how impossible the requests were.
I might change that occurring theme in my story, and have the wife go ask for herself.
I didn't get why the color of the water was changing. Was the flounder getting weaker? Maybe.

Aschenputtel. A little different version of Cinderella with some new parts added into it. The main character is treated the same way, but some things are changed.
Some magic is involved. A little magic is always fun. Good details throughout describing the things Aschenputtel wears. This was very similar to Cinder-Maid (the story I read two weeks ago).
I might add some new things to this story. The sisters cut off their toes and heels to fit their feet into the shoe in this story as well.
The ending was a little different from what I was used to in a Cinderella story (the sisters get their eyes plucked out).

The Robber Bridegroom. This was a good story. A girl and some robbers are the main characters.
The girl is tricked into marriage by a robber.
She gets help from a old lady.
I thought the old lady was bad also, but she wasn't.
I like the ending, where they were executed for their crimes.
