degrimm1-1, Exercise 2: One tale's history

Model answer (one possible choice: Cinderella, "Aschenputtel"; check each detail):

What you can say from general knowledge:
- It is in the Grimms' collection, and similar stories exist in many other cultures and older printed versions (check which).
- The Grimm version includes a hazel tree on the mother's grave and helpful birds, rather than a fairy godmother (check against the text you read).

What you could only find out from a scholarly edition:
- Which informant or printed source the brothers used, and when.
- How the wording and details changed between the 1812 edition and the 1857 edition.
- The tale's KHM number and its place in the standard classification of tale types.

The lesson: a tale you know well may be known mostly through film or a children's book, so its Grimm history is a separate question that needs a named edition.
