Synopsis

I do not think the expansion of the synopsis is wise. The purpose of that is to give a short account of the story, not every detail. Goldfritha 02:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i agree with you. my language arts teacher always says that when you right a synopsis you are supposed to tell the readers what you think and a very breif summery. User:Krod8089

Details

i just wanted to ask if there are any details, like the stories that the princess told the other workers, the wind horses for example. I'd like to know more about that story. GGx —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.68.202.86 (talk • contribs)

Goettingen

There is a locally famous statue of a goose gril in Goettingen, where the Brothers Grimm taught. Is it associated with the story? ~~!~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.0.63.173 (talk) 07:05, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Nag"

I'm not sure that 'nag' by itself is a good word choice when describing the evil maid's mount. To someone only familiar with the verb 'to nag,' it isn't at all obvious whether this 'nag' is a horse or a mule or even something unorthodox like an ox, only that it is somehow inferior to the talking horse. Even looking it up on Wiktionary, it gives both "pony" and "old, useless horse," which is still rather ambiguous. My Webster's II New Riverside University Dictionary gives the verb 'to nag' first and with a lengthy definition with examples, while it gives the noun definition simply as "1. A horse, esp. an old or worn-out horse. 2. Archaic. A small saddle horse or pony." Given that this is an old story to begin with, it's still not exactly clear what is meant by 'nag.' 68.60.202.174 (talk) 08:41, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
