content
A little girl who never obeys goes to the wicked Frau Trude illegally. There it tells her, trembling, of a black, a green, and a red man, which Frau Trude dismisses as a charcoal burner, hunter and butcher. When she says that she saw the devil, the witch reveals herself, turns the child into wood, throws it into the fire and warms herself with it.
origin
The source cites Grimm's note, a poem from Meier Teddy 's women's pocket book 1823, p. 360 , that this is a better and more complete tradition than in the previous editions (KHM 43a The miraculous Gasterei ). The verse and rhyme structure of the original was dissolved, but the content and dialogic character were largely reproduced.
Compare to the household of the witch KHM 42 The godfather , to the educational morality KHM 117 The stubborn child , to the witch who warms herself on the burning block of wood KHM 193 The drummer .
