Fairy Tales: The Golden Goose And Cinderella

Kind actions to others can be rewarded, but selfish and unkind actions to others may be punished. People’s actions may come back at them in the future. The fairy tales used are “The Golden Goose” and “Cinderella”. All of the actions people perform to society and others have consequences. People's actions describe how someone is as a person. Cinderella's father married another woman who brought with 2 step daughters with her. “So they took off her fine clothes, and put upon her an od grey cloak, and gave her wooden shoes for her feet”(Cinderella pg 1). The stepsisters were very cruel and harsh to Cinderella because she was not from the same mother. These actions do not show how people should treat each other. In this scene dummling is going
to collect wood when the man asks for part of his food and beverage. “Give e a piece of your cake and a draught of your bottle, for I am hungry and thirsty”. Dummling answered, “ I have only a cake baked in the ashes and a bottle of sour beer but, if they will suit you, let us sit down and eat”. (Golden Goose pg 2). Dummling was nicer to the man than his older brothers where. Dummling was happy to share his food even though he would have less for himself. His actions are a good example of how to treat others. In conclusion, your actions toward a person change the way they might think of you. There may be good or bad consequences a person recieves based on their actions
