Seren Roberts Poet Limerick

Dont Stamp Your Feet - Limerick 3 Contest

Brothers Grimm could tell many a tale 
Some of the endings could turn you pale
Rumpulstilskin stamped his shoe
Got stuck tore himself in two
That edition* did not go on sale



1857 version of Story

The ending of the 1857 edition saw Rumpelstiltskin die by being ripped in two. Now that is pretty gruesome, right? But how did this event happen? Did someone do it to him, or did something else happen.
