Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In which fairy tale does the heroine (who happens to be her step-mom's servant) go to a ball and is chosen, due to the size of her feet, to be the prince's bride?

Answer: Cinderella

It is not well-known that the evil step-sisters also managed to fit their feet into the slipper, but only after cutting off pieces of their feet. The blood revealed their trick.
2. What was the sleeping beauty's name?

Answer: Briar Rose

Yes, she really does have a name, although in the Disney "Sleeping Beauty" movie, it was Princess Aurora.
3. How high was Rapunzel's tower?

Answer: 20 ells

An ell is a unit of measurement of 44 inches. Rapunzel's tower, therefore, was 73 feet, 4 inches high. She had a lot of hair.
4. According to the Brothers Grimm, what color was Cinderella's slipper?

Answer: Gold

Hope that didn't fool you. Yes, it was a golden slipper the prince tried on Cinderella's foot, after he got it away from her by spreading the stairs to the castle with pitch (tar).
5. In "Rapunzel", does the witch have a name?

Answer: Yes

The witch, Mother Gothel, shut Rapunzel up in the tower to keep her from all the world. She was insanely angry when she found out that Rapunzel had, in fact, married the King's son without her knowledge.
6. How did the witch get Rapunzel in the first place?

Answer: Rapunzel's father had promised the witch to give her up when the witch caught dad in her garden.

Rapunzel's mom got a look at the rampion in the witch's garden and pined away for it. Dad, not wanting to lose his wife (whom he loved) snuck in and got some rampion. When he didn't get caught, he went again and didn't fare as well. The witch threatened his life, but forgave Dad with the condition that when he got his long-wanted child, he would give her up. Rapunzel was born shortly after.
7. According to the Brothers Grimm, Cinderella's step-sisters were ugly.

Answer: False

They were, in fact, "pretty and fair in appearance", but their wicked hearts more than degraded their looks.
8. Which fairy tale has the following plot line? A simple, kind young man goes against the example of his older brothers and shares a meal with an old man, finds a sticky goose, makes a solemn princess laugh, and, with the old man's help, passes three tests to marry the princess.

Answer: The Golden Goose

Don't get "The Golden Goose" and "The Golden Bird" confused. "The Golden Goose" is the above-mentioned fairy tale, with the contest to make the princess laugh and such. "The Golden Bird" is more complex, with an enchanted fox wrapping it all together.
9. According to the Grimm's version, what does the princess in "The Frog Prince" do to the frog to change him back to a human?

Answer: She throws him against the wall.

I say the Grimm version because there are other versions of "The Frog Prince", one of which has him turning into a prince after three days of companionship, as provided by the princess. The Grimm Brothers, however, saw it fit to have the princess become so disgusted with the frog that she picked him up and threw him against the wall.
10. What was the name of the talking horse in "The Goose Girl"?

Answer: Falada

Conrad was the name of the goose boy who grew so annoyed with the talking horse's head over the archway that he told the king about everything that happened when he was around the goose girl.
