Seven in Fairy Tales VII

· 6 Comments ·

This one is obvious – it’s Cinderella, of course. Cendrillon, Aschenputtel or Aschenbrödel. In the fairy tale the number of doves helping her to sort the lentils from the ashes is not clear but in this depiction (the same half-timbered house which illustrated the story of the seven little goats) there are seven doves. Seven doves for the seventh fairy tale! I have to admit to cheating again – in order to get the mural square I had to delete a panel. It only contained the prince, though.

It’s the most international of all fairy tales, with Italian and French sources, a couple of German versions, and apparently versions of this story are found in India, Arabia, Iran, and South East Asia.

The good ones go in the pot

The prompt for Tourmaline’s challenge reads: “If you want to share a literal image of the actual word, do that. But if you’d rather play with word association, post something that reminds you of the specific word, or something you use the word for, do so. It only has to make sense to you.”

Here is my offering for the prompt “lense”.

(Hint: If you speak German you’ll understand. – “Die guten ins Töpfchen”)lense
