Silver Hands?

[edit]

First, I'm not familiar with the fairy tale. However, the end of the summary has the king saying his wife has silver hands. However, her gaining silver hands is not mentioned in the story summary prior to that. I assume this happens in the tale, and thus should be added (it being crucial to the plot and tied to the title and all). Matthew0028 17:58, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"father"

[edit]

(Also posted to the project talk page.) From the Synopsis:

After seven years, he found the hut, and lay down to sleep with a handkerchief to cover his face. His wife came out, and when the handkerchief fell, directed her son to put it back on. The child grew angry, since he had been told that the Father in heaven was man's true father, but no one on earth.

This sequence makes no sense as presented here. It can only work if the wife tells the son that the sleeping man is his father. --Thnidu (talk) 00:03, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
