This week's story session features talking bread, lessons in karma, and yet another awful mother who treats her hardworking daughter like garbage and her lazy daughter like a princess (my theory is that the lazy daughters are way more fun to hang out with). And in this week's adaptation, I take that story and turn it into a modern-day classic guaranteed to make many billions of dollars. Guaranteed, I tell you! Dive on into this weeks' story session.

This week's story session features a tale about an unlikely trio of roommates who have a great thing going... and then ruin it all in spectacularly gruesome fashion.

CONTENT WARNING: This week's story from Grimm's Fairy Tales features violence that involves children. It's... it's real bad, guys.
This week's story session features easily the most disturbing story of Grimm's Fairy Tales up to this point, How Some Children Played as Slaughtering. I honestly can't even bring myself to come up with a funny description. This one's just... super messed up. It was not included in subsequent editions of Grimm's Fairy Tales after the first edition, which would come as a surprise to absolutely no one. You've been warned. Good luck.

This week's story session features an all-time classic, Cinderella. As expected, the original version is far messier, bloodier, and more nonsensical than the versions of today. And who knew that everything good that happens in this story is entirely thanks to a pair pigeons? To top it off, the adaptation at the end of the episode turned out to be one of my favorites. All that and more in this week's story session.
