* AnAesop
** Often in these tales the aesop is that following instructions ''to the letter'' will make your dreams come true, and conversely that not doing so will land you in [[OhCrap big trouble]]. These are often directed at young girls, making sure that they stay in line into adulthood.
** "Odds and Ends": a bridegroom will prefer a servant to the daughter of the house if he learns she is thrifty and industrious, unlike the daughter.
** "The Wolf and the Man": The most obvious lesson of the story is to never lie about experiences you never had. But, there's another lesson that's not often talked about. While it's good to challenge yourself now and again, always remember your weaknesses before throwing yourself into a situation that you don't know how to handle or cope with. You also shouldn't set expectations on people for that same reason.

* FearInducedIdiocy: In the story "Straw, Coal, and Bean", if Coal had calmly walked along the Straw, they would have continued their journey. But no, it was necessary, having heard the splash of water under you, to stop in the middle and yell: "I'm afraid of water, I'm afraid of water!" The straw, of course, while he was shouting, ignited, and the failed travelers drowned in the stream.

->''Nearly all my labours have been devoted, either directly or indirectly, to the investigation of our earlier language, poetry and laws. These studies may have appeared to many, and may still appear, useless; to me they have always seemed a noble and earnest task, definitely and inseparably connected with our common fatherland, and calculated to foster the love of it. My principle has always been in these investigations to under-value nothing, but to utilize the small for the illustration of the great, the popular tradition for the elucidation of the written monuments

Jacob Ludwig Carl (4 January 1785 – 20 September 1863) and Wilhelm Carl Grimm (24 February 1786 – 16 December 1859), known collectively as The Brothers Grimm, were German linguists born in the late 18th century, who, in an effort to preserve Germany's heritage and promote cultural unity in a period of [[UsefulNotes/AllTheLittleGermanies political disunity]], collected a vast array of folk tales from their fellow Germans (mostly middle- and upper-class friends). The brothers eventually published these stories in the famous collection which they called ''Kinder- und Hausmärchen'' (''Children's and Household Tales''), but which is generally better known among English-speakers as ''Grimms' Fairy Tales''. Germans of a certain generation may know their faces from the last issue (1990-2002) of German banknotes where they appeared on the DM 1000 ,- note.
