So I felt that a contest would be quite interesting for Saturday (hopefully people get on) Through the week if needed.
THE GOAL IS TO NAME AS MANY FAIRYTALES/STORY RHYMES AS YOU CAN! HOW FAR BACK CAN YOU DWELVE INTO YOUR MEMORY?
These can be anything and I will resist giving examples, for you will not be able to name them.
For stories, just list the titles as many as you can. Many stories you already know may just be fairytales or folklore. Google them for history if you want; you just may learn something xD
For songs you should be able to look them up and copy and paste
THE ONE WHO LISTS THE MOST STORIES GETS A SURPRISE! IF ANYONE IS JUST LOOKING TO CHALLENGE THEIR MINDS THEN THAT IS MORE THAN ACCEPTABLE XD THIS IS FOR FUN PPL and also.....
ONES WITH THE MOST SONGS/RHYMEING STORIES WILL GET A SPECIAL PRIZE. (They do seem the hardest to remember until you hear the names. Really odd how that is but it works)
STORIES WILL BE LISTED HERE LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AND YOUR USERNAME WILL BE BESIDES IT. LET'S SEE WHAT EVERYONE KNOWS AND DOESN'T KNOW.
STORIES (I put 5 for now but you guys can pull 10-15 atleast, with the simple ones)
--------
1.Hansel and Gretel- Admin / Yikes cannibal witch? And an abandoning mother, 4 shame
2.Red Riding Hood- Admin / Well they got eaten then saved (Red and her grandmother)... yeah
3. Sleeping Beauty- Admin / Curse on the kingdom and everyone fell asleep, many princes died in the thorns around the castle to get to her.... 0-o
4. Cinderella- Admin / Slave driving step-mother.....and the step sisters got their eyes pecked out 0-0'''' the slippers were also gold and not glass xD but I guess the story could have any type of shoe
5. Snow White- Admin / living with seven men and the queen eating her supposed "heart" in one version, also the poisoned apple and creepy disguises by the jealous queen
6. Beauty and the Beast- Admin / Forcibly staying with a beast as an exchange, Gaston (as you can imagine) was trying to marry her and yadda yadda; it's the same any way you read it.
SONGS (harder, trust me I know. But it does become clear like I said with a quick online search)
------
1. Ring Around the Rosie- Admin (easier to organize by username)/ Came around the time of the Black Plague
