1:20

Hey there! I'm also a storyteller. I

1:23

like telling all kinds of stories,

1:26

but I especially like telling grim

1:28

fairy tales. You

1:30

may think you know grim fairy tales, and

1:32

you may think that they are sweet and

1:34

boring. But listen, those

1:37

tales you heard were the cute, happy,

1:39

little-kid-bedtime versions of the grim tales. The

1:42

original grim fairy tales aren't like that

1:45

at all. They're weird,

1:47

and sometimes gross, and often

1:50

scary. In other words,

1:52

they're grim. And I'm

1:54

about to host a virtual storytelling session

1:56

and tell one of the original grim

1:59

grim tales. Ill to a bunch

2:01

of kids. Do you want to join

2:03

me? Do you want to hear a

2:05

Grimm fairy tale? I

2:09

don't know if you said yes or no because

2:11

I can't hear you so let me help you

2:13

decide. On

2:15

a scale of grim, grimmer, and

2:17

grimaced, the story I'm going to

2:19

tell today is grim. There is

2:21

some blood, and there is the

2:24

threat of death by some clamps.

2:26

But otherwise the story is more

2:28

funny than stay. Still,

2:31

If I get to upload of the story

2:33

and you start to feel scared or uncomfortable,

2:35

this is what you could do. You.

2:37

Could turn down the volume and

2:39

count defies. Then turn the

2:42

volume back up. It. It still

2:44

seems like a part you don't want

2:46

hear. Turn it down and come to

2:48

five again. You know how much weird

2:50

and gross and scary you're ready for?

2:52

You know what you need. Okay,

2:55

I'm about to join the session.

2:57

There are kids inside waiting to

2:59

hear a grimm fairy tale. So.

3:04

Are you coming? A? Grip

3:14

grimmer grimace. Or

3:23

I will you. Has been waiting for a while but

3:25

now we are read. A.

3:29

Story is of Story by the Brothers Grimm and

3:31

it is called the Golden Goose. Once

3:35

upon a time there was a

3:37

kid. This King had a daughter.

3:39

So stone cold serious. She never

3:42

ever last. Not as a baby,

3:44

Not as a kid, Not as

3:46

a teenager. Never. Right

3:49

as as depressing does not depressing.

3:52

So the king issued a decree

3:54

which means he made an announcement

3:57

and the decrease said any guesses

3:59

would in a decree said. But.

4:02

In else. I'll go far

4:04

as. Far. As

4:08

oh. My

4:10

God you Lads Virgin Mary. Have

4:13

How did you know that? Say

4:17

thousand. And

4:19

the decrease said whosoever could make

4:21

my daughter the princess loss couldn't

4:23

marry her because in Grimm fairy

4:25

tales, kings are always promising the

4:28

people could marry their daughters without

4:30

ever even asking their daughters. Not

4:32

fair, right? Well

4:37

upon hearing to free own

4:39

princes and lords and nice

4:41

and even some hot set

4:43

court jesters traveled from all

4:45

over the world and try

4:47

their luck had making the

4:49

princess last. They sing songs

4:51

know there is a half

4:53

months men, robert mood or

4:55

do they tell jokes? knock

4:57

knock. Offs

5:00

that's hill. Size.

5:04

Zero Zero. And

5:08

they made fart noises. But

5:14

believe it or not, the princess

5:16

never even cracked a smile. Ah,

5:23

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Kings

5:25

kingdom, their lives assembly with three sons.

5:28

The eldest son was named Fritz the

5:30

middle, a son was named Hans and

5:32

the youngest son was named Dreaming Welp.

5:34

Dreamy wasn't his real name that of

5:36

Dreamy walked around dreaming of stories are

5:39

the stars were originally had heard one

5:41

years ago and still never solved dream.

5:43

His family had started calling him dreamy

5:45

a long time ago and now everyone

5:47

forgot what his real name was. anyone

5:50

ever guess is what does ruin was.

5:53

Around Brad as. Everyone

5:57

thinks the thread okay. The

6:00

maybe his real name was spread but they

6:02

called him dreams so that's what we're gonna

6:04

call him to. So there was for its

6:06

hands and dreamy. One day the father told

6:09

his eldest son Fritz to go into the

6:11

forest to chop some firewood. The mother put

6:13

a fine pancake and a bottle of side

6:15

or in a sack fritz have to the

6:18

sack and max over his shoulder. and often

6:20

when. When.

6:25

Fritz reach the edge of the forest, there was

6:27

an old grey dwarf standing in the middle of

6:29

the. You said

6:31

you six and sorry to bother

6:34

you, but I'm off to me,

6:36

hungry and terribly Thursday. Would you

6:38

keep me abusive? Your pancake? Kinda

6:41

stupid insider. but Fritz cost. give

6:43

you my pancakes and my side

6:45

or then there will be enough

6:47

for me. Get out of my

6:50

way. Fritz pushed past a dwarf.

6:53

A greedy. Price. Rose

6:56

super it as fritz past the

6:58

dwarf without sharing any of his

7:00

meal. his eyes fell on a

7:02

beautiful silver parked tree that would

7:04

be the tree he cut down

7:06

for firewood. so he took his

7:08

ass from his shoulder hold it

7:10

behind him and swung as hard

7:12

as he could. Forces

7:18

Acts had missed the tree and

7:20

buried itself deep in his arm

7:22

with a lot hurting everywhere for

7:25

hurry house where his mother bandage

7:27

tumor suppressor smiled. Appropriate. It's

7:30

supposed to be, but it's probably not. and I apologize.

7:32

He. Said. Well

7:37

the family still needed firewood so the father

7:39

turned to the Middle East sun on and

7:41

told him to take the ass which was

7:43

now kind of bloody out into the forest.

7:45

The mother put a pencil in a bottle

7:48

of Side Are Innocent Home through the Sex

7:50

and the Acts over his shoulder and said

7:52

as on his way. at

7:56

the edge of the forests standing in the middle

7:58

of the pass encountered the old

8:00

gray dwarf. There was no dwarf, there

8:03

was a gray dwarf. I'm

8:08

glad to hear your opinion on that subject.

8:10

Unfortunately, you are incorrect, ma'am. It's

8:13

the dwarf. I'm sorry

8:15

to bother you, the dwarf

8:17

said to Hans, but I

8:19

am awfully hungry and terribly

8:21

thirsty. Would you give me a

8:23

piece of your pancake in the sip of your cider?

8:27

Hans scoffed. Why would I share my pancake

8:29

in cider with you? I have wood to

8:31

chop. Hans left the dwarf standing

8:33

there and made his way towards the same

8:35

beautiful silver barked tree his brother had tried

8:38

to chop down. Hans raised his

8:40

axe and swung it around. Hans

8:46

had buried his axe deep in his leg. He

8:49

hopped home, crying and leaving a trail of blood

8:51

on the forest floor behind him. Is

8:56

that supposed to be karma for not giving the man

8:59

pancake and drink? What

9:02

an interesting thought. Is it

9:04

supposed to be karma? Wait, what does karma mean? It

9:07

means that it's basically like

9:09

if you did

9:12

something bad to someone else, something will

9:15

happen to you that you don't want

9:17

to happen. Maybe it was karma. Anyone

9:19

have a different explanation for why they keep chopping

9:22

their bodies? They're very

9:24

clumsy and they

9:26

don't like their limbs. Maybe.

9:29

I think that's not that that dwarf

9:31

put a curse on them. Interesting.

9:34

A karma curse. A karma

9:36

curse. I like it. When

9:40

Hans got cold, his mother bandaged his leg.

9:43

Then Dreamy stood up and said, let

9:46

me go and chop the wood. Everyone

9:49

objected. If Fritz and Hans had nearly

9:51

cut their own arms and legs off

9:53

out there, Dreamy was liable to start

9:55

swinging the axe, start thinking up a

9:57

story mid swing and chop his own head off.

10:00

They all told him at once what a bad idea it

10:02

was for him to go. What do you mean? Don't go,

10:04

Larry. The first one that she'd be

10:07

going into the with by himself. Hey, Dreamy, come on.

10:09

But Dreamy was already thinking about chopping that wood, and

10:11

he barely heard his family over the sound of his

10:13

own thoughts. Which was typical. So

10:16

the mother reluctantly packed Dreamy a pancake, not a

10:19

tasty one, but a pancake made of water and

10:21

ashes, because she was so angry that he was

10:23

going, and a bottle of old cider that had

10:25

soured a long time ago. He

10:28

hefted the sack and the axe over his

10:30

shoulder, and off he went. When

10:35

Dreamy reached the edge of the forest, he

10:37

came across the old gray dwarf, standing in

10:40

the middle of the path. Give me a

10:42

piece of your pancake and a sip of

10:44

your cider. I'm awfully

10:46

hungry and terribly thirsty. Dreamy

10:50

was surprised to meet this old gray dwarf.

10:53

He'd never met one of those before. He

10:55

was quite interested. So he

10:57

said, all I have is a

10:59

pancake made of ashes and some sour old

11:02

cider. But if that's all right with you, we

11:04

could share it. How is Dreamy different from his brothers?

11:08

He's fine. Really good.

11:11

Yep. And he likes to

11:13

dream about kind stuff, maybe. So

11:16

the old gray dwarf and Dreamy sat down to eat.

11:19

And somehow, the ash pancake actually

11:21

tasted mighty fine. And

11:23

the cider was as sweet as could be. When

11:26

the two had finished eating, the dwarf thanked

11:29

Dreamy and said, since you have so kindly

11:31

shared your lunch with me, I'm going to

11:33

share something good with you. See

11:36

that silver bark tree over there? Just

11:38

go chop it down and you will find

11:40

a little special something waiting for you on

11:43

the stump. So Dreamy

11:45

walked over to the beautiful silver barked

11:47

tree, swung the axe behind

11:49

his head, and did

11:51

not start composing a story and chop his

11:53

own head off. Instead,

11:55

with a single chop, the tree came

11:58

Crashing down. They're

12:00

almost any that adults with

12:02

feathers are fewer goals. Oh.

12:08

The goose was beautiful. It

12:10

was amazing. Like something from a

12:13

dream. Dream. He had never

12:15

seen anything like. Not

12:17

the dream. Didn't care for gold about birch,

12:20

but he was very interested in this goods.

12:23

And picked it up, looked at it and

12:25

started wondering how a living thing but observers

12:27

of. He think the

12:29

great were forgot all about gathering would and

12:31

started for home with the Golden Goose under

12:33

his arm. But

12:38

by now the sun was setting and it was

12:40

too dark to find the path home. Also

12:43

happens there was an in nearby nestled

12:46

in the woods three me decided he

12:48

ought to spend the night. they're less

12:50

to get lost This in was run.

12:53

By three sisters. Dreamy

12:55

pushed open the door of the

12:57

and the three sisters turn and

13:00

gasped. They

13:02

wanted that golden goose of lot.

13:04

Okay, I'm gonna tell you something

13:06

about me right now. Ah

13:09

when I go into a video game

13:11

store. I. Want everything.

13:14

It's this crazy feeling that comes over me.

13:17

I can literally feel it in my chest.

13:19

I want and I want and I want

13:21

the word I think is of it. I

13:23

have it every game and that store I'm

13:25

with that on. I want that and I

13:27

want them all. I

13:30

could. But the thing is, I never buy things in a

13:32

video game store because I get it easily. addicted to video

13:35

games and then I just play the video games all the

13:37

time and I would never write another Grimm fairy tale for

13:39

you guys for the rest of my life and I can't

13:41

let that happen so I don't buy any video games to.

13:43

That would be a problem for me. But

13:45

is there anything in your life the you

13:47

feel that way about the you want so

13:50

much the covet for all bars. I know

13:52

that feeling. Tell me about it. You see

13:54

the boxes and and what happens. I

14:00

to let me do accept. Well. All

14:03

three sisters coveted that

14:05

amazing beautiful golden goose.

14:08

So they decided to kidnapped while

14:10

Dreamy was asleep. In.

14:13

The middle of the night the eldest

14:15

sister crept into dream his room and

14:17

grab the goose. She

14:20

took it down stairs to her sisters and

14:22

put it down on a table or see

14:24

tried to put it isn't in a table

14:26

you see she realized. That her

14:28

hands with stepped into the does. Is.

14:34

Now the novelist sister coveted the

14:36

Golden Goose to and she didn't

14:39

understand why the eldest sister wouldn't

14:41

put it down. So see tried

14:43

to grab the golden her sister

14:45

but when the middle a sister

14:47

put her hands on it she

14:49

found that scene was still to.

14:55

Was. The youngest sister tried to grab it

14:57

from the two older ones and see attack.

15:00

Yeah. That's up to. I

15:02

think it's car Mad arms says

15:05

they'll want to kidnap said guess.

15:07

That assassinating the youngest sister

15:09

also became attached to deduce.

15:15

And the three were forced to spend the

15:17

night sleeping on the floor, all cradling the

15:19

golden goose. Are

Mornings Drain. It took the senate arms and

18:12

set out on his journey. How. Not

18:15

noticing that there were three years in in.

18:19

The I just had a

18:21

dreamy dreamy. Was so the sisters had

18:23

to run after during the as he was

18:25

constantly dodging rock trees and brand of lunging

18:27

left and right, forced to go wherever his

18:30

likes of that on. The

18:32

sisters cried out for dreamy to fall and hope for.

18:38

The training was thinking about the Golden Goose

18:40

and the old Great War and a story

18:42

he thought he might write about it all.

18:44

He couldn't even hear The Sisters over the

18:46

sound of his imagination. Well,

18:49

you can imagine the dream. His family was

18:51

quite. Surprised when he arrived home. First.

18:56

Of all, since he'd been gone all

18:58

night, they figured he really had chopped

19:00

his own head off. But they were

19:02

especially surprised that he had returned with

19:04

a Golden Goose that had three sisters

19:07

attached to it. Produces

19:09

tests at around. Forty

19:15

think they haven't. Ah,

19:18

I'll. Stay

19:21

here says. The

19:24

I saw that. Elevates

19:28

unless. You

19:36

guys have listened to a lot of

19:38

could very well as the eldest brother

19:40

who the eldest sister. he figured he

19:42

would marry her. and as

19:44

soon as homs the middle his

19:47

brother saw the middle a sister

19:49

he figured he would marry her

19:51

so hands approach the middle a

19:53

sister and gazing lovingly into her

19:55

eyes leaned forward to kiss her

19:58

hand the middle sister screams Wait,

20:00

don't! But it was too late.

20:02

Anything happened? He

20:04

got stuck. Which part of

20:06

him? Hans's lips.

20:09

Yeah, his lips got stuck to her hands. So

20:12

he can't read it. I guess

20:14

it's like everlasting love. It

20:17

really brings out the expression. It's

20:19

everlasting love is the expression. Love

20:21

it. That's gross. So

20:24

Hans's lips were stuck to the middle of sister's hands.

20:27

Now Fritz did not understand why his brother

20:29

was kissing this young woman's hand for such

20:31

an embarrassingly long time. It

20:33

made them all look ridiculous, and Fritz did not

20:35

want to look ridiculous in front of the elder

20:37

sister because he was pretty sure he was going

20:39

to marry her. Fritz said, stop

20:42

it, Hans! But Hans didn't stop

20:44

it. Because he couldn't.

20:48

All Hans could say was, no, no,

20:50

what's this thing? So Fritz

20:52

strode over to Hans and grabbed his head and tried

20:54

to yank him away. What

20:57

happened? Oh, magic. He got stuck. He

20:59

got stuck too. Oh, our

21:01

mom. At least Fritz can eat. Fritz's

21:04

hands got stuck to his brother's

21:06

head. Help! Mother! Help me! Fritz

21:08

cried, but he shouldn't have done

21:10

that because his mother sprang into action. She grabbed Fritz's

21:13

arms with both of her hands and tried to yank

21:15

him off of his brother. The father

21:17

shouted, wait, don't do it! And he grabbed

21:19

the mother by the waist and tried to pull her back. Too

21:23

late. Super

21:25

karma! Super

21:28

karma. I

21:30

feel like the rest of the story

21:33

is just going to be a train

21:35

of people touching the people and then

21:37

just... It's going to be a long,

21:39

choo-choo train of just people getting dragged

21:41

over the floor. I think

21:43

this is a really good guess. So the

21:45

father's hands were stuck to the mother's

21:48

waist. Hey! The mother's hands

21:50

were stuck to the eldest brother's arm. I'm stuck!

21:52

The eldest brother's hands were stuck to the sides

21:54

of the middle of his brother's head. Stop kissing

21:57

her! Doctor

22:00

The Middle, his sister's Hand Moon and

22:02

the eldest middle as and younger sisters

22:04

were all stuff to the Golden Good.

22:11

At first Dreamy didn't notice because

22:13

he still wasn't stuck to anyone

22:15

or anything. says.

22:18

Both spawning gold. The

22:23

goal of money. That's

22:27

a fascinating idea. Everyone who stuck to

22:29

the cold and shouted pleaded with three

22:31

me so much that he finally saw

22:33

what was going on. He

22:36

was quite surprised to see seven people

22:38

are good to each other and to

22:40

the Golden Goose. Try to pay the

22:42

money, but he couldn't be. Also didn't

22:44

get that himself. Dreamy

22:47

started wondering whether this could be a

22:49

chemical issue, was zoological phenomenon or matter.

22:52

While. Everyone else stood around complaining and

22:55

begging him to do something house run

22:57

on do with. My

23:00

I'm. Finally Dreamy said

23:03

i'll take you all to see

23:05

the old read: worth know know

23:07

what to do. You mean that

23:09

worth it Made me start my

23:11

own arm said fritz because he

23:13

finally figured out about karma and

23:15

workers as that's a terrible idea.

23:17

The father agreed. ah, don't want

23:19

to see as war, I want

23:21

to see a doctor or. A

23:23

magician. So the mother. Added

23:27

the middle a sister. The eldest sister said

23:29

we should go to the palace someone there

23:31

will know what to do. This seems like

23:33

the most reasonable idea yet. So they all

23:35

ignored dreamy and started walking through the forest

23:37

to the house which was not even he

23:40

says can you imagine a people all excited

23:42

with guns trying to walk in the same

23:44

time. As

23:53

they were approaching the castle, the king in the

23:55

princess happened to be out on a royal strong.

23:57

Remember the princess right? What was the deal with

23:59

the princess? again? The

24:03

King and the princess. We're

24:05

surrounded by princes, lords and

24:07

just are all trying to

24:09

make the princess last which

24:11

was not worth what to

24:13

do with finishing a knock.

24:15

Knock jokes for the king

24:17

interrupting. now our interrupting how

24:19

mu lock up a tough

24:22

one? God it wasn't that

24:24

good. Zola, the Us or

24:26

you're laughing. A little.

24:29

No she's not laughing the princess

24:31

side and must away from the

24:33

crowd of not very many suitors

24:35

of into the distance he or

24:37

she saw the strangest thing. Again

24:40

in and Adidas and three

24:42

young women. And

24:45

another young man with his it's up to one

24:47

of the on women's hand and a third your

24:49

dangling from the kissing guys have and a mother

24:52

hanging onto that young man's arm and a father

24:54

for being dragged along behind it. all of them

24:56

orienting and pulling and shouting at each other. Can

25:00

all. And

25:06

the princess burst out laughing

25:08

for the very first time

25:10

in Harlem. The

25:16

Prince's one hundred and

25:18

one. Was

25:20

like a damn racing and the water that

25:22

had been held back. So wrong. Finally and

25:25

rushing out. The

25:27

Ting ordered his guards to grab the goose

25:30

and it's followers and bring them over to

25:32

him. Stones nothing out of your grass. And

25:37

stuff. When the group

25:39

arrived before the king in the princess

25:41

the guards were now stuff to an

25:43

oppressive was laughing uncontrollably. Eventually

25:47

whites in the tears of laughter from her

25:49

eyes. The Princess said. Responsible.

25:54

For their. The. brothers sisters mother

25:56

and father all looked at dreams

26:00

Dreamy put down the goose and, nervously,

26:02

raised his hand. And

26:05

the princess said, I shall marry you.

26:08

What? said the king. What?

26:10

said Fritz. What? said the

26:13

mother. What? said the father. What? said

26:15

the elder sister. What? said the middle

26:17

of sister. What? said the younger sister.

26:19

Huh? said Hans. Really? said the king,

26:21

looking at the dreamy fool who had

26:24

dragged a golden goose and seven snuck

26:26

people out of the forest. Are you

26:28

sure? Fritz tried to

26:30

convince her not to. Your majesty,

26:32

don't! He's a good-for-nothing dreamer. He

26:35

will embarrass you, your father,

26:37

and this kingdom. Just

26:39

look! He got us all stuck to this

26:41

ridiculous goose! Hans agreed.

26:44

Mm-hmm. But the princess said,

26:47

I don't care. He made me laugh.

26:50

It feels good. So I shall

26:52

marry him. Right, father? And

26:56

suddenly the king was having second thoughts.

26:59

He didn't want his daughter to marry some

27:01

fool from the woods who would embarrass her,

27:04

his kingdom, and worst of all, himself. Mr.

27:06

Bluff, him? The king is selfish. He's

27:09

selfish and doesn't care about anyone. But

27:12

himself. So

27:15

the king raised all sorts of objections. You

27:18

can't marry this guy. He's

27:20

not noble. Sure, he made you

27:22

laugh, but come on now. The juke's knock-knock

27:24

joke was pretty good. I

27:27

won't allow it. Don't

27:29

do this to me. I mean to you. The

27:32

princess glowered at her father. You

27:34

issued a decree, and now for the

27:36

first time in my life, I actually

27:39

want to follow it. She

27:41

smiled at Dreamy. For once,

27:43

he was paying attention. He

27:45

smiled back. But the king was

27:48

not giving up. Well now I'm

27:50

issuing another decree. You Dreamy,

27:54

until you put an end to

27:56

this ridiculous scene, you may not

27:58

marry my boy. So

28:01

Dreamy tried again to pry the three sisters'

28:03

hands from the goo. But

28:05

he could not. He tried to pry Hans' lips

28:08

from the middle of his sister's head. He

28:10

could not. He tried to pry Fritz's hands

28:12

off of some of his head, his mother's hands off

28:14

of Fritz, and his father's hands off of his mother,

28:16

and the guards off of all of them. He could

28:18

not. At last, he said, I

28:21

need to go to the woods. I'll be right back. This

28:24

is a strange time to go pee, young

28:26

man. I'm not going pee. I have to

28:29

go see a dwarf. We'll

28:31

go to the woods, if you must. But let

28:33

me warn you, if you are

28:35

not backed by sundown, I will hang every

28:38

member of this cockamamie troop by their thumbs

28:40

until they are dead. And

28:42

you too, for attempting to

28:44

steal my daughter and embarrass

28:46

the throne. Why would they

28:48

hang the poor innocent

28:50

goose? Yeah,

28:53

good question. One attached

28:55

to the goose began crying and wailing at once.

29:03

And the princess spun on her

29:05

father furiously. Now that I

29:07

actually want to follow your stupid decree and

29:09

marry the man who made me laugh, you're

29:12

going to kill the guy? Dreamy

29:14

said to the princess, don't worry. I'll

29:16

be right back. Please don't

29:18

let your dad kill anyone. I'll try.

29:21

The king scoffed. Good luck.

29:24

Well, said Hans. Yeah, Hans.

29:26

I agree, said Fritz. We're

29:29

relying on Dreamy to save us? We're

29:32

definitely going to die. Dreamy

29:36

went back to the forest. The old

29:38

gray dwarf was standing there, just as he always

29:40

was, which was a great relief because

29:42

Dreamy didn't have much time. He

29:44

told the dwarf everything that had happened, which made

29:46

the dwarf laugh and laugh. Then

29:50

the dwarf said, come closer. Let

29:52

me whisper in your ear. Dreamy

29:54

Leaned right next to the dwarf's mouth, and

29:57

the dwarf told Dreamy how everyone stuck to

29:59

the goose. I'd be afraid. Current

30:03

I'm Family and Dreamy Began to

30:05

laugh to. Us.

30:10

That you do are three me cry and

30:12

he ran back to the castle as fast

30:14

as he could. The sun was beginning to

30:17

set, the last raise of life. we're filtering

30:19

through the trees. Why

30:22

does he have to hurry up when it will will happen? Out

30:26

loud mouthed out how well

30:28

they might all die. But

30:30

I don't think because it wasn't twist. Oh, I

30:33

think it's because the King threatened to hang them

30:35

all by their farms until they were dead, right?

30:39

When dream he arrived in the

30:41

square where the king and the

30:43

princess and all the people step

30:45

the golden these were waiting to

30:47

some just about disappeared behind health

30:49

and the king servants were preparing

30:51

the sun lamps. Too late the

30:53

king bellowed the only thing you're

30:55

in time for is your own

30:57

death for the princess said. Just

31:01

then, everything.very dark,

31:04

Their. Minds Farm. The

31:07

princess turned to drink drew me

31:10

to new. Free these people from

31:12

this golden girls! And. Dream

31:14

he said. Now. Everyone

31:17

attached to the do started to whale and cry

31:19

at once. I

31:25

cannot. Freedom said. Dreaming only

31:27

then can do that. And

31:30

everyone had the exact same time

31:32

said. Dreamy

31:35

told them with the old Grey

31:37

dwarf had told him. There's

31:39

no magic in that golden goose. It's

31:42

just a deals with golden feathers.

31:46

Are you have to deal with. My

31:48

tell. The king and the princess

31:50

and all the dukes and lords and jesters stared

31:53

at the free sisters, the to sun, the mother

31:55

and father, and the two guards who were stuck

31:57

to the goose. Nothing is holding you. Like

32:00

your desire. Let

32:03

go. So the eldest sister,

32:06

let go. And then the middle

32:08

of sister, let go. And

32:10

then the youngest sister, let go. And

32:14

then Hans stopped kissing the middle of sister's hand. And

32:18

Fritz took his hands off of Hans's head. And

32:22

the mother let go of Fritz's arm. And

32:24

the father let go of the mother's waist. And

32:27

the guards let go of whomever and whatever they were

32:29

holding on to. It wasn't

32:31

magic. Oh, we're just holding on

32:33

to it. Well,

32:35

that was silly, said Hans. And

32:39

the princess laughed. And Dreamy

32:41

laughed. And the

32:43

king started laughing too. And

32:47

the princess and Dreamy were married. And the

32:49

king didn't even mind. Very

32:51

much. For the rest

32:53

of their lives, the Golden Goose was their favorite

32:55

pet. But no one

32:57

ever touched it again. Just

33:00

in case. The

33:02

end. Alright,

33:06

can someone explain to me what happened? Why

33:09

were they all stuck to the goose? Like

33:11

they wanted something and their

33:13

desire to want that thing like

33:17

made them hold on to the goose. Yeah.

33:20

It wasn't like any karma magic, which

33:23

I'm kind of sad about that. But

33:25

they just wanted the goose. They

33:27

just wanted the goose so much that they

33:29

couldn't let go. Or they thought the other

33:31

person would get the goose. Interesting.
