Because you’re so far the only person who agreed, allow me to trauma dump the reason why I curse Eleanor Audley and Lucille LaVerne. See, I have a weird moral code and a heavy disinterest in the early Disney films. So when people were pissed about Rachel Zegler not “respecting” the original Snow White, that did it for me. Real free speech is being able to make dumb-but-harmless statements without being treated as Public Eneny Number One.

I don't remember what I agreed to. Can you send a link to the initial post?

Do you think The Endless Tale works as a sort of mirror image of the 1001 Nights frame story? What with the narrators gender being flipped and the strategy being to make his audience grow to hate his story instead of wanting to know what happens next?

In a way, that does make sense. Especially because the storyteller's end goal in both is to avoid being killed.

By the way, The Endless Tale still reminds me of "Jack's Story" from The Stinky Cheese Man:

What do you think about Aarne-Thompson-Uther tale type 2301 "corn carried away one grain at a time"? It's one of my favorites.

I had never heard of this story until now, so I looked it up. I like it. There's not a lot of substance to it, but it's funny.

Here's an example, for anyone else who doesn't know it:

Once upon a time there was a king who had a very beautiful daughter. Many princes wished to marry her, but the king said she should marry the one who could tell him an endless tale, and those lovers that could not tell an endless tale should be beheaded.

Many young men came, and tried to tell such a story, but they could not tell it, and were beheaded. But one day a poor man who had heard of what the king had said came to the court and said he would try his luck. The king agreed, and the poor man began his tale in this way:

"There was once a man who built a barn that covered many acres, and that reached almost to the sky. He left just one little hole in the top, through which there was only room for one locust to creep in at a time, and then he filled the barn full of corn to the very top. When he had filled the barn there came a locust through the hole in the top and fetched one grain of corn, and then another locust came and fetched another grain of corn."

And so the poor man went on saying, "Then another locust came and fetched another grain of corn," for a long time, so that in the end the king grew very weary, and said the tale was endless, and told the poor man he might marry his daughter.

It reminds me of "Jack's Story" from The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales:

"Once upon a time there was a Giant. The Giant squeezed Jack and said, 'Tell me a better story, or I will grind your bones to make my bread. And when your story is finished, I will grind your bones to make my bread anyway! Ho, ho, ho.' The Giant laughed an ugly laugh. Jack thought 'He'll kill me if I do. He'll kill me if I don't. There's only one way to get out of this.' Jack cleared his throat, and then began his story. 'Once upon a time there was a Giant. The Giant squeezed Jack and said'..."

And so on and so on until the Giant falls asleep.
