Description
Dance she did and dance she must, through the dark night. Her shoes took her through thorn and briar that scratched her until she bled. She danced across the wastelands until she came to a lonely little house.Probably, the saddest fairytale in the world

yo este cuento no lo conocΓa, me lo contΓ³ SaG y la verdad es que es muy muy triste. La niΓ±a es pobre pero parece que vanidosa, y sΓ³lo querΓan que le regalaran unos zapatos nuevos, cuando los consigue se pone a bailar y ya no puede parar... hasta que se corta los pies!

Haha, this tale freaked me out, I nearly cried when I first heard it as a child~
Does the girl has a happy ending in your version?~
The cemetery as a bg is scary (lol~) but the girl has such a sweet a ballerina feel on her~
π: 0 β©: 1
happy ending? well... if as a happy ending you mean that she gets stop dancing cutting her feet by herself... yes.... she has a happy ending xD
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, that's not happy at all~
In my version she regretted her sin (being selfish? I don't really remember the beginning) and an angel came and restored her feet back, so she lived on normally and such.

I looked it up and the discription says the shoes led to her suicide. Not very happy if you ask me.
Still love the picture though!

not so tragic, the shoes led to her to cut herself her feet. But it's sad anyway
π: 0 β©: 0
oh man, I just went and read this fairytale online and you are right, it is soooo sad!
π: 0 β©: 2
wow, I'm glad my drawing inspired you to read the story. And you already know how sad it's u__u

I just looked it up as well... what a terribly messed up tale!
Poor kid was just being a kid!

I can't really tell what the moral here was.
Listen to your elders?
Keep your mind on the task at hand and not your vanity?
π: 0 β©: 1
not to have sinfully intence obsessions, and never wear red shoes to church(red being the color of the devil) and yes probably not to be too vain.

Oh, you are much better than I. [is kind of terrible at interpreting tales]
π: 0 β©: 1
lol not really, I basicly got all of that from my english class last year. we kept having to find symbols and metaphores and such all the time. the shoes are probably a symbol for greed or something but whatever... it doesn't really mater.
π: 0 β©: 1
See, I never got it... even in class. I tried and tried and while I am good at most everything else, I think that is just something I am not destined to have skills in.

I'm over it XD

thats okay. but oh, today in spanish class, we were working in pairs and when we went to the board to describe our partners weekend, I noticed that my partner had red flats on. my teacher noticed too and said, "oh those remind me of a story. they are like the shoes in the wizard of oz(minus sparkles). but it reminded me of this story, and I kept thinking about it the rest of class. 
π: 0 β©: 1
XD uh oh. I'd have told my partner in jest.
But only if I knew them...
π: 0 β©: 1
I wanted to, but my sinora is very instistant that we speak in spanish all class(which no one does)... but yeah...
and I did know her(she is on my xc and track team) but she was a year older than me and isn't really a friend of mine.
but that would have been funny if I had told her!
π: 0 β©: 1
It would have! XD
I know that all-day-spanish days... eff those. No one really says anything anyway.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah. I hate it. this year in spanish Sra says that we are old enough to speak in spanish all the time and we will be doing it allllll year... 
lol I think it is really cool that we both take spanish.
sorry for my stupidly long post...
π: 0 β©: 1
ah, I apologize for my posts being short.
I speak some Spanish, not as much as I should for having it ingrained into me for so many years. Yeah, I can't have a language just told to me and be able to read and speak it, that is odd your class is combined with the two levels. Can the higher level read the literature required?
π: 0 β©: 1
its okay that your posts were short. lol. how many years have you been taking spanish?? this is my 5th year, so I am in level 4(the first 2 years were both level 1)
the older students can read the book(lazarillo de tormes) more easily than we can. we can read it, but it takes about 30 min per page and I at least have to look up words every few seconds...
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, technically I've had Spanish since I was born? I am half Mexican, but that doesn't mean I speak worth a crap. I've taken Spanish classes since seventh grade so...six years? I stopped taking it after high school. [Junior in College now, but I'm only 20! I'm not old! DX]
Oh I remember having to look every few words up, if ever there was a sentence that I didn't have too look up something I was excited.
btw, I like your new avatar.

I started in seventh grade too. and don't worry, 20 isn't old, afew of my cousins are 21, and they are deffinetly not old, lol. and thanks about my avatar!
oh and I just looked at your gallary, I liked your drawings!
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh thanks! They aren't great... but carefully done by hand.
π: 0 β©: 1

π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, I did a bunch all the time in high school. What I have posted is probably 5% of it or less.

That's one Heck of a sick story. Hans Christian Anderson was known for telling extremely sad stories about little children dying...
