degrimm1-6, Exercise 3: From film to text

Model answer (one possible choice: Cinderella; check each against your named translation):

1. Who helps her? A fairy godmother in many films; in the Grimm text a tree on her mother's grave and birds.
2. Is there a ball? Films have one evening; the Grimm text has a festival over more than one day.
3. What is the shoe? Glass in many films; the Grimm text uses a different material (check which, and the edition).
4. What happens to the stepsisters? Often forgiven or sidelined in films; in the Grimm text they are punished severely.
5. Who is the translator, and which edition does the translation follow? This changes how many of the above come out.

The lesson: the popular version is a retelling, so the Grimm text must be read before saying what "the Grimm version" does.
