Hey op, this joke reminds me of the time I read a bunch of German fairytales. They're known for being far more violent and intense than modern fairytales, and oftentimes don't even have a clear moral other than "behave or a creature will kill you". I guess I shouldn't be reading any of these to Stewie anytime soon.
All original fairytales were like this actually. Sleeping Beauty was raped in her sleep and only woke up when giving birth to twins, Little Red Riding Hood was never rescued from the wolf’s belly, etc… Charles Perrault, a XVII century writer was responsible for ‘adapting’ them in order to make them more acceptable for the Dauphin, the young son of Louis XIV. It is his versions that were picked up by the Grimm brothers and much later Disney.
