Geppetto is saved from the whale by Pinocchio and is rewarded with human life by the Blue Fairy while Jiminy, the Cricket, gets a job as a certified conscience. In the original adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, Pinocchio is often described as a wretched and thoroughly disobedient boy who laughs in the face and steals the wig of his creator and father Gepetto. When the Cricket tries to stop Pinocchio from being a wild child, Pinocchio bashes his head with a hammer and kills him.

The original version, which was written in 5 AD and has been adapted over several years, Mulan returns home from war to find that the world has transformed completely.

Even worse, the Khan—the ruler of Northern Wei at that time—has summoned her to the palace to become his concubine. Instead of suffering her fate, she decides to commit suicide. Cinderella get married to her Prince Charming and they live happily ever after. There are two previous Cinderella stories which are both grotesque to say the least.

In one of the versions, written in the 17th century, Cinderella kill her evil step-mother by slamming a lid of a chest on her throat which breaks her neck. In Brothers Grimm version, the step-sisters chop off their feet to fit the glass shoe. Nothing like what we had imagined.

For once, sleeping beauty actually felt like a romantic story and modern too, and it still makes me smile thinking of it. Plus, it followed a tradition in fairy tales of doing things in threes which is my favorite fairy tale tradition.

But instead the frog was not only female, but an Indian woman who had been cursed until someone does something kind for her. Of course my only issue was that, apparently that kind thing had to be throwing the frog against the wall. It was also clear the author knew all of these fairy tales well, with the little details they managed to add when it came to making the stories in modern times.
