In reading 'Little Snow White' in Grimm's Fairy Tales one will get a sense that it is two stories in one for I got a sense of The Three Bears story as well when Snow White entered the dwarf's cottage she performs some activities as if she were Goldilocks and for the dwarfs they speak a few lines that to me seem reminiscent of the Three Bears story. This version as it seems to be is quite different from the Disney version that we all seem to like to watch at times.
The Grimm's version has the evil stepmother trying several times to kill with a comb and a ribbon before the apple is given. Snow White and in the Disney version the only attempt is with the poisoned apple. The dwarfs revive her twice, but not the third time for this is for the King's son to do for there still is a glass coffin for which she lies in state. Other similarities were the looking glass the evil stepmother used as well as the little verse she used to keep locating Snow White, but I am happy that this one did still have a happy ending for thanks for the huntsman for having a heart and letting her live.

Grimm's Fairy Tales #4
Here is a Grimm Fairy Tale that I did not know about or even heard of entitled 'The Straw, The Coal and the Bean'. This is a very short one but is really quite descriptive. It is a tale of three odd friends working together to achieve a goal of some kind. Even though the straw still burns and the coal fizzles out and the bean splits. At least they tried for a little while to survive living. It is also a tale on how we see beans now-a-days with a black seam. To me this is an unusual tale on how to get children to eat their vegetables maybe.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Venezuela
By Leavie “Soul on Fire” Scott Her name was Nava, a 23‑year‑old shopkeeper’s daughter from Tehran, though she didn’t feel young anymore. Not after the week she had survived. Not after watching the value of Iran’s currency collapse so fast that shop windows changed prices twice a day. Not after seeing her father stand in his empty store and whisper, “I cannot afford to open tomorrow.”
