Answer 1

How's this:
I've actually seen "the wolf and the seven young kids" on telly recently, the real version, which I thought wasn't allowed any more because it's supposedly violent.

Answer 2

There is a book called An Underground Education : The Unauthorized and Outrageous Supplement to Everything You Thought You Knew About Art, Sex, Business, Crime, Science, Medicine, and Other Fields of Human by Richard Zacks and it tells some the stories of the Brothers Grimm. It does not go that far into detail but it gives the basic outlines of the stories.

Some are not to plesent.
Such as that in the original story of Goldilocks the bears torture and kill their impolite visitor.
That books also contains other interesting things. If you decide to go and look for it the book is white and on the cover is someone sitting in an electric chair.

Answer 3

Once upon a time there were two journeymen who traveled together,and they swore they would always stick together.However,when they reached a large city,one of them began to live loosely and forgot his promise.He left the other,went off by himself,and wandered here and there.Most of all he loved to be at the places where he could find the most excitement.The other journeyman remained committed to his job in the ciyt,worked industriously,and then continued his travels.
One night he passed by the gallows without realizing it,but he saw a man sleeping on the ground.He was shabby and destitute,and since the stars were so bright,the journeyman recognized him as his former companion.So he laid himself down next to him,covered him with his coat,and fell asleep.However,he was soon wakened by two voices.They were ravens sitting on top of the gallows.
One said,"God provides!"
The other,"Act according to the situation!"
After those words were spoken,one of the ravens fell exhausted to the ground.The other went and sat next to him until it was day.Then he fetched some worms and water,revived him with that and woke him from the dead.
When the two journeymen saw all this,they were astounded and ask the one raven why the other was so miserable and sick.Then the sick raven said,"It was because I didn't want to do anything,for I beleave all my food will be provided for by Heaven."
The two journeymen took the ravens with them to the next village.One of the birds was cheerful and searched for his food.He bathed himself every morning and cleaned himself with his beak.However,the other one stayed around the house,was bad tempered,and always shabby looking.After a while the landlord's daughter,who was a beautiful maiden,became very fond of the industrious raven.She picked him up from the floor and petted him with her hand,and then one day she pressed him to her face and gave him a kiss out of sheer delight.The bird fell to the ground,rolled over,fluttered,and turned into a handsome man.Then he revealed that the other raven was his brother and that they had both insulted their father,who had put a curse on them by saying,"Fly around ravens until a beautiful maiden kisses you of her own free will."
So one of the brothers was released from the spell,but nobody wanted to kiss the one who sat idle,and he died a raven.
The journeyman who had been living loosely took a lesson from this,and he became industrious and proper and took good care of his companion.
