ok.. i need the title of the story written by either the brother grimm or andersen.
its bout this king who had 3 or 4 daughters and he asked each one how much they loved him. the first ones answered with things they wanted to hear but the third one said,"I love you like a daughter loves a father."
the king threw her out of the kingdom and erased her name from the family. years later the daughters who stayed in the castle threw theit father out and the only person who he could go to was his youngest daughter whom he'd outcasted.
she took him in and together they regained the castle.
i cant remember the title or the author.. please help me.. i need it for skool tomorrow.. thank you!

That actually sounds like the Shakespeare play "King Lear" and not a fairy tale. King Lear was a king who asked his three daughters how much they loved him and the youngest told him the exact same thing you said and she was thrown out of the kingdom.

Here's a summary of King Lear written for children from Lambs' Tales From Shakespeare.

Definitely King Lear, but Shakespeare draws on old themes. I seem to recall a similar theme in a fairy tale called "The Salt King" I could not tell you who wrote it though...

Um, that sounds more like Shakespeare's "King Lear" than a fairy tale.

The story is like King Lear - Shakespeare. The king's daughter tells him:
'You have begot me, bred me, lov’d me; I
Return those duties back as are right fit,
Obey you, love you, and most honour you.Why have my sisters’ husbands, if they say
They love you all? Haply, when I shall wed,
That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry
Half my love with him, half my care and duty.
Sure I shall never marry like my sisters,
To love my father all.'
He casts her out because she refuses to flatter him like her sisters do
