Ühel lesknaisel oli kaks tütart. Üks oli ilus ja virk, teine aga inetu ja laisk. Ema armastas inetut ja laiska tütart rohkem ja sellepärast tuli teisel majas kõik tööd ära teha. Ühel päeval kaevu äärel kedrates, kukkus virga tüdruku värten kaevu. Julm ema käskis sellele järgi hüpata. Nii sattus tüdrukuke lumeeide riiki. *Raamat on I klassi soovitusliku kirjanduse nimekirjas.

German philologist and folklorist Jakob Ludwig Karl Grimm in 1822 formulated Grimm's Law, the basis for much of modern comparative linguistics. With his brother Wilhelm Karl Grimm (1786-1859), he collected Germanic folk tales and published them as Grimm's Fairy Tales (1812-1815). Indo-European stop consonants, represented in Germanic, underwent the regular changes that Grimm's Law describes; this law essentially states that Indo-European p shifted to Germanic f, t shifted to th, and k shifted to h. Indo-European b shifted to Germanic p, d shifted to t, and g shifted to k. Indo-European bh shifted to Germanic b, dh shifted to d, and gh shifted to g. This jurist and mythologist also authored the monumental German Dictionary and his Deutsche Mythologie . Adapted from Wikipedia.
