​

​    Fitcher’s Bird is an old Grimm tale

       built around the Bluebeard motif. 

            It tells the story of three sisters. 

                                  The youngest is Hope. 

                                                             Her task:

        To face the challenge her older sisters failed.

 

Hope is given a key and a warning:

“Do not open the door this key unlocks,

                                                             on pain of death.”

 

​In another Bluebeard tale, the English fairy tale, 

Mr. Fox, there's a warning above the chamber door.

  It reads:

 

      “Be bold, be bold, but not too bold, 

lest that your heart’s blood should run cold.”

​

         If you were told not to open that door, what would you do?

 

      ​​​​Hope opens it.

 

          One opens locked doors in fairy tales.​

 

        But it isn't enough to open the door.

​

   She has to see.

​​​

​Then the story begins.
