Grimms' Fairy Tales: resumen de Part 40

Qué sucede

1. A woman wishes for a child beneath a juniper tree, dies after giving birth, and receives burial beneath its branches.
2. Her husband remarries, and his new wife kills his son because she wants her daughter to inherit everything.
3. The stepmother blames Marleen for the death and serves the boy as pudding to his unsuspecting father.
4. Marleen gathers her brother’s bones beneath the juniper tree, and a singing bird emerges from fire among its branches.
5. The bird exchanges repeated performances for a gold chain, red shoes, and a millstone, then returns home.
6. The bird rewards the father and Marleen, crushes the stepmother with the millstone, and becomes the boy again.

En qué fijarte

The bird turns its song into a means of gathering objects. Those objects become rewards for the family members and punishment for the murderer.
