When you are German and they read you the ORIGINAL Grim tales at bedtime, you know what’s up sooner than you’d wish.

I heard that as well. Some say that the “fancy city folks” as which the Grimm brothers were perceived got an already watered down version of the real thing.
Compared to American adaptations such as Cinderella, the written Grimm version is the wild one, though.
