yesterday in English class the class had to select a letter, then a country starting with that letter, then a traditional story from the country we chose, I chose N, Norway, and the story Thumbikin
the story is about a woman's only son, who was no bigger than her thumb, and when her son called Thumbikin knew right from wrong his mother said he should look for a bride, so they got ready to go to a princess's castle and the mother placed her son in her bosom and started off, soon Thumbikin had hidden from his mother and only came out when his mother was weeping, he did that four times before they got to the castle, where the princess said that he was a good little chap and the wedding soon followed, after the wedding they went to eat, there was a big bowl of porridge which Thumbikin couldn't reach, so he climbed to the rim of the bowl, but spotted a bowl of melted butter to Dunk the porridge in so he climbed to the ridge of that bowl, then the princess tried to Dunk her porridge into the butter and hit Thumbikin into it, where he drowned.
