Grimms: Brother and Sister

Hello from Xavier, Naomi and Rhiannon,

We have been out testing youtube sites to find suitable fairy tales for evening stories.  We think we found one that will work for everyone.  It isn't in our book, but it is on youtube and is in three parts.

Brother and Sister.

Check it out. 

The introduction takes more time than we would wish, but as soon as the brother and sister are cast out into the forest, the story gets interesting.  By Part III, everyone in our house was in bed with Mary, watching the screen, wondering if  pure love could be found, for that is the only way that spell could be broken.

You will have to watch to find out what the spell was. 

Good luck.

Rhiannon, Naomi and Xavier

  1. Our family wants to guess first, and then watch youtube. David's guess is saying "I love you" will break the spell. Joaquim's guess is saying the word "heart" three times. I'm going the guess the classic "kiss on the lips" will break the spell.

  2. SPOILER ALERT ....

    David is the champion.

    PS: Film rated "naked bum" by the David YouTube Modesty Rating. We had to pause it at that point 4 times for him to decide on how to rate that fraction of a second nudity.

  3. PPS: It was very hard for us to watch. We practiced taking a deep breath in and then blowing out for the count of four. We would pause after every 5-15 seconds to rest and celebrate making it through the next "scary part". dDavid is very proud. He did it. He watched the whole thing!
