Reply to comment by Klin24 in TIL the original 1881 "Pinocchio" was a dark story that included the puppet's execution by hanging for his bad behavior (which included murdering Jiminy Cricket) by foodtower

That is still the original version told to children in Germany.

First sister cuts of a toe, second sister cuts of her heel.

Both are found out because the shoe starts leaking blood.
