As always, an excellent post! Complete, pleasant and very interesting. I didn't know the possible origin of this children's story and some of the versions it has in other countries. For a Venezuelan child, this story can be very real, since every day there are more Venezuelan families who abandon or give away their children because they do not have the possibilities to feed and educate them. Perhaps at the end of all the nightmare we are living through, there will be new horror stories that will be told like fairy tales. It is unbelievable when reality overcomes fiction. Thank you for sharing, @ladyrebecca.
