The stepdaughters wished for beautiful clothes, pearls and precious stones but Cinderella begged him to break off for her the first branch that hit his hat on the way home (compare "Oda" and "The Little Hazel Branch"). This was a hazel branch. Cinderella took it to her mother's grave, planted it there and watered it with her tears. Instead of directly becoming a fairy prince like Oda's serpent or the bear in the " Little Hazel Branch," the branch grows into a wish-tree from which the maiden receives everything, the most beautiful gold and silver clothes and little golden slippers in order to please the prince and with the help of which she finally makes the wish-prince her husband. The Singing, Imnjring Lark (Grimm).--A man was going to make a long journey and wished to bring back presents for his three daughters. The youngest desired, in this fairy tale, a singing, springing lark (Liiweneckerchen=Lerche=lark). Finally, on the way home, after a long search, he sees one seated in a tree, and tells his servant to get it for him. A lion (Liiweneckerchen=Liiwe=lion) springs out (such a play upon words one might meet in a dream or in dementia praecox; children's songs and rhymes do the same) and threatens to eat the merchant for trying to steal from him his singing, jumping lark. (A physician used to say to a patient with a sexual disease, "Here you are with your little bird (Viigelein), why don't you let it out!" In the dialect of our region the penis is the bill, beak (der "Schnabel," das "Schneibeli"). "Viigeln" is the vulgar expression for coitus. I must return to these slang expressions in order to support the...

Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III The Wish Structure Of The Fairy Tale. Fairy Tales As Wish Structures There are countless fairy tales which when submitted to analysis and taken as a whole are found to represent the most splendid wish structures. Innumerable fairy tales, as well as myths and legends, tell us about magic gifts, objects and qualities, which the human wish-phantasy has created. In the "Bekenntnissen einer schonen Seele" (Goethe, Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre, Book VI) this conception of the fairy tales is very beautifully presented: "What would I not have given to possess a creature that played a very important role in one of my aunt's fairy tales. It was a little lamb that had come to a peasant maid in the woods and had been fed; but in this pretty little animal there was an enchanted prince, who finally appeared again as a beautiful young man and rewarded his benefactress by his hand. Such' a lamb I would have loved to possess." The story of the "Nun of the Temple of Armida " gives us an opportunity to enter upon a group of fairy tales of which the story of "The Little Tear Jug" serves as a good example.1 Three days and nights a mother watched, cried and prayed at the sick bed of her only beloved child without whom she could not live. The child died. The mother was seized with a nameless pain, she did not eat or drink and wept three long days and nights without ceasing and cried out after the child. Then the door softly opened and before her stood her dead child who (in the present wording of the tale) had become a holy angel and smiled in glory. He carried in his hands a little jug that was almost running over. He said: "O dear little mother, weep no more for me! See! in this jug are your tears which you have shed for me. One more and the little...
