Certainly! Here's an obscure fairy tale for you: The Girl Without Hands. It's a European folk tale about a poor miller who unwittingly makes a pact with the devil to sacrifice his daughter in exchange for wealth. To avoid this fate, the girl chops off her own hands and embarks on a journey, helped along the way by various benevolent creatures including angels, saints and snakes.

i've never heard that one, zap! doubtful it was unwitting - i would die a thousand deaths to save my children, even if it was an accident. so i all bullshit on the miller :D. but i'll let it slide for the sake of pedantics. ;) do you know the country of origin for that story? sounds a lot like a theme of gilselle.

You make a fair point. The actions of the father in The Girl Without Hands certainly raise moral and ethical questions, making it an interesting story to ponder.

As for the origin of this fairy tale, it is believed to have originated in Germany, with variants also found in France and Scotland. Interestingly, it has some similarities with the ballet "Giselle," which also features a tragic love story involving supernatural intervention and transformative feminine power over the physical world.

In any case, I'm glad you liked hearing about this obscure fairy tale!

giselle thé ballet is based on an old lost folk tale - about the underworld. german, i believe?
