Pilgrimm's Fairy Tales

Da "unicorns and rainbows" kiddie-version of da history of da first colonists' settling in da "new world", which leaves out much of da "grim" realities of their actual "adventures", such as lack of preparedness, unwise habits, mistreating da indigenous residents, etc.

Da Salem witch-trials could perhaps be given da "grim grins" title of "Pilgrimm's Fairy Tales", as well, in dat da absurdly-preposterous "stories" dat were told about said trials' unfortunate accused were merely "fairy tale" --- i.e., largely fanciful and imaginary --- statements dat were made by da plaintiffs who were of Puritan lineage, da same as da original travelers on da "named for what comes after April showers" ship.

tale klaging

Noen som velger å kun meddele triste historier og hendelser eller noe vanskelig som skjer i livet, som en prøve, i håp om å tvinge frem en form av sympati eller medfølelse i mottakeren.

"Oh my God. Jeg var syk i helgen og fikk ikke øvd noen ting"
"Huff så leit altså"
"Og om ikke det var nok, så har jeg migrene, og jobb etterpå. Og oppkjøring har jeg også denne uken"
"Wow, driver du med tale klaging eller?"

Tale of Whoa!

A story of compound misfortunes so unlikely that the listener responds with terminal skepticism.

He listened respectfully at first, filled with compassion, tears forming in his eyes as she narrated having been abandoned as an infant, left in a dumpster high in the Sierra-Nevadas, rescued by dumpster-diving circus riders who put her, untethered, on the back of a jumping stallion every night till she was sixteen. Years later, escaping one night off the coast of San Diego she waded into the ocean, hoping to end it all, only to be netted by Tijuana shrimp fishermen who forced her to peel shrimp for years in a rickety boat, the best life she's ever known, before falling overboard in a hurricane and washing ashore in San Francisco at the precise moment an 7.4 earthquake hit. How she got to the Greyhound station in Sparks she was still unclear, and could he spare a hundred bucks to help her find her rightful family, whom, she believed, might at this moment be remorsefully searching for her on the outskirts of Death Valley. By now dry-eyed and stone-hearted, he reached into his wallet for a five, which he slipped into the outer pocket of her spangled handbag and, not looking back, hopped quickly onto his bus while she prattled on with her Tale of Whoa!

The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales

A 2017 French animated comedy film. It's based on a book, and very obscure. It has three stories, all based around the animals of a farm and their interactions.
French: Le Grand Méchant Renard et autres contes

"I think the Big Bad Fox and Other Tales is underrated."
"Why do you like it?"
"I like the style of the cartoon animals, and it's pleasant to watch. There's an English dub, too."
