Grimms' Fairy Tales, Part 56: samenvatting

Wat er gebeurt

1. In the first story, an old fox with nine tails pretends to die to test his wife's faithfulness.
2. Miss Cat brings marriage requests upstairs, but Mrs. Fox rejects every fox with fewer than nine tails.
3. Mrs. Fox accepts a nine-tailed suitor, but her husband rises, beats the gathering, and expels everyone, including her.
4. In the second story, Mr. Fox is dead, and Mrs. Fox rejects a wolf and other animals.
5. She accepts a young fox with red stockings and a pointed mouth, complains about her former husband's selfishness, and celebrates the wedding.

Waar je op kunt letten

Mrs. Fox’s question makes resemblance to her husband the condition for accepting a suitor. The repeated rejections depend on this test.
