The Fairy Tale


         For those who have no clue how the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale “The White Snake” went, here is a quick summary.  A servant of the King decided to have a taste of the Royal White Snake that only the King was allowed to eat.  When he did this, he learned that eating a piece of the snake gave him the power to understand what the animals were saying.  Using this new found power, he decides to leave on a journey and eventually finds favor with some fish, a number of ants, and finally some ravens by showing generosity to them.  Eventually, he learns that the King is looking for a suitable husband for his daughter.  Captivated by her beauty, the servant goes through numerous grueling tasks to win the princess' heart.  But each task was basically impossible for him to do on his own.  It is here that the animals he helped earlier come to his aid.  When the final task is completed, he marries the princess and the two lived happily ever after.
