"Incorrect," snapped Andi smugly. "A pity none of you actually bothered to read - or it is because you think fairy tales are just too babyish for the likes of you, hm?" Her eyes sparkled with glee as she continued her lesson, "The Grimm fairytales were not originally intended to be stories for children, they were an attempt by Wilhelm and Jakob Grimm to retain Germanic culture. But when the stories proved popular, the Grimms were forced to take out many of the more violent or sexual connotations in the story, which is why I specifically demanded the lot of you buy the unexpurgated copy. In actuality, the princess broke the charm simply by throwing the creature at the wall, whereupon, it burst. And that's gentle compared to the Polish version where the animal is a snake and had it's head cut off."
