The Grimm's Fairy Tales Quiz--Well Known Tales: 14 questions by Scribbler King

Progress: 1 of 14 questions

Someone asked me to create a Grimm's Fairy Tale quiz and so, here you are! I got these from GRIMM'S COMPLETE FAIRY TALES, which was published by Barnes and Noble in 1993. If you know a different version of the fairy tale, apologies. There are millions out there.

Note: There are a couple tales, to my count, that aren't that well known. Take a guess! :)

In THE FROG PRINCE, 1) what is wrong with the Prince's coachman while the Prince is under the spell, and 2) and how does the princess break the curse?

1) Three iron bands are wrapped around his heart and 2) she throws the frog against the wall, trying to kill him.
1) the witch killed him and 2) the princess lets the frog sleep in her bed.
1) The poor man was turned into a golden ball and 2) she gives the frog a kiss goodnight.
