Ashenputtle (Cinderella German Version P2

Children Under 13 Never Try this at home, if you dislike blood this story has some blood and grossness and unlike the stepmother in here I do not encourage anyone to physically hurt themselves like the stepsisters are told to do in this next part. If you are squeamish maybe don't read this part of the story.  You have been warned this is the end of my trigger warning read at your own risk if you dare.

The eldest took the shoe to her room to try it on and her mother went with her. But the shoe was too small and she couldn't get her big toe in. So her mother handed her a knife and said: "Cut your toe off. Once you're queen you won't have to walk any more." The girl cut her toe off, forced her foot into the shoe, gritted her teeth against the pain, and went out to the king's son. He accepted her as her bride-to-be, lifted her up on her his horse, and rode away with her. But they had to pass the grace. The two doves were sitting in the hazel tree and they cried out: "Roocoo, roocoo,
There's blood in the shoe,
The foot's too long, the foot's too wide,
That's not the proper bride."
He looked down at her foot and saw the blood spurting. At that he turned his horse around and took the false bride home again. "No," he said, "this isn't the right girl; let her sister try the shoe on." The sister went to her room and managed to get her toes into the shoe, but her heel was too big. So her mother handed her a knife and said: "Cut off a chunk of your heel. Once you're queen, you won't have to walk any more." The girl cut off the chunk of her heel, forced her foot into the shoe, gritted her teeth against the pain, and went out to the king's son. He accepter her as his bride-to-be, lifted her up on his horse and rode away. As they passed the hazel tree, two doves were sitting there, and they cried out: "Roocoo, roocoo,
There's blood in the shoe.
The foot's too long, the foot's too wide,
That's not the proper bride."
He looked down at her foot and saw that blood was spurting from her shoe and staining her white stocking all red. He turned his horse around and took the false bride home again. "This isn't the right girl either," he said. "Haven't you another daughter?" "No," said the man, "there's only a puny little kitchen drudge that my dead wife left me. She couldn't possibly be the bride." "Send her up," said the king's son, but the mother said: "Oh no, she's much too dirty to be seen." But he insisted and they had to call her. First she washed her face and hands, and when they were clean, she went upstairs and curtseyed to the king's son. He handed her the golden slipper and sat down on a footstool, took her foot out of the heavy wooden shoe, and put into the slipper. It fitted perfectly. And when she stood up and the king's son looked into her face, he recognized the beautiful girl he had danced with and cried out: "This is my true bride!" The stepmother and the two sisters went pale wit fear and rage. But he lifted Ashenputtle up on his horse and rode away with her. As they passed the hazel tree, the two white doves knpuîcalledout: "Roocoo, roocoo, No blood in the shoe.
Her foot is neither long nor wide,
This one is the proper bride."
Then they flew down and alighted on Ashenputtle's shoulders one on the right and one on the left, and there they sat.

On the day of the Ashenputtle's wedding, the two stepsisters came and tried to ingratiate themselves and share in happiness. On the way to the church the elder was on the right side of the bridal couple and the younger on the left. The doves came along and pecked out on of the elder sister's eyes and one the younger sister's eyes. Afterward, on the way out, the elder was on the left side and the younger on the right, and the doves pecked out both remaining eyes. So both sisters were punished with blindness to the end of their days for being so wicked and false.

I 100% think this is the worst Cinderella story out there, I hate the ending because The author's contradict themselves in the last paragraph where they hint "the stepsisters were trying to be nice at Ashenputtle's wedding. However neither Ashenputtle's horrible dad nor the stepmother show up. The Prince is this story is very stupid. The point is the lesson is stupid if you punish someone after they've already cooled down and are trying to be pleasant. If anything the main reason the stepsisters were so awful is because they have a very controlling judgmental woman for a mother and she made them hurt themselves just to get on the Prince's side I can see them having that pain as sufficient enough punishment and karma enough to teach them a lesson. The stepmother and father in this story are the ones who deserved not to see their world they live in anymore. So I 100% do not agree with their ending for the stepsisters and it clashes with some actually proven true biblical facts important to me as a Christian. Which is hard for me to believe that these German brothers would right down something so blatantly false about God in general as religion is a big part of the German culture, and they were to first to speak up against Catholic misconceptions.
