What happened to the other two women? :(
You know, I wish there had been more to the original story that revealed the answer to that. The original tale was one short paragraph and didn’t have much detail at all.
I was wondering that, too. And, also, what would have happened to the first woman if her husband had chosen wrong.
I bet there’s an expanded version of this story floating around somewhere.
Yay! More updates than planned????
I love that you guys are doing this ^_^ And on kind of a random note, I think it’s great that the illustration doesn’t depict only Caucasian characters. It really shows how these tales can be enjoyed by everyone and breaks away from how Disney portrayed the more wellknown Grimm Tales :-)
when I was a child I read a version of this story where when the man chose the right flower all three women were rescued.
I just wanted to say, I think these adaptations are brilliant, sensitive and humorous. They’re a joy to read. I really hope you’ll get them published in a collection one day.
That was really clever! Though I do feel bad for the other ladies . . .
I just have one issue with the characters being African-American: shouldn’t they be African-German? Tee-hee
