Hungarian Folk Tales: The Golden Lamb (S06E05)

[@glowworm2]

I like how everyone stuck to the lamb also got rewarded as well--not just the lad himself.

[@fumomofumosarum5893]

even though the girl... was a thief... ^^; and the mother, kinda violent.... lol... wait, what's the moral here?

[@fuckfirefox5114]

1.You will be punished for you're acts.She would be forced to always hold the sheep If the princess didn't laught 2.Women like guys who can bring joy into their life. Maybe

[@RikkuTakanashi]

Yeah that really made this a nice one. Even though the ones who got stuck all got stuck for being mean or selfish, they got punished by having to dance and follow them everywhere, then got rewarded for helping the boy. Their life went from mundane to extraordinary for repenting.

[@willg4802]

Yeah, but does that mean the previous Baker, General, cobbler, Weaver and cardinal ended up with their heads on poles ?

[@FrogsForBreakfast]

​@@willg4802 maybe their heads were some of the ones already on poles. Those positions were conveniently open 😅

[@jamestown8398]

"... and they all ended up with their heads impaled on a pole" I think that might be the real reason why everyone was in mourning.

[@daybyday834]

I like this story. It shows hard work pays off, and that sometimes laughter is the best medicine. The one thing I don't get is *WHY DID EVERYONE WHO COULDN'T MAKE THE PRINCESS LAUGH GET THEIR HEAD IMPALED!?* I mean my goodness that's way overboard for what the situation called for. Fun story regardless, and the dancing lamb was adorable.

[@eisenklad]

they were motivated by greed... after all its half of whaat the king owns. basically to add the undertone that one must have pure intentions to be successful, and the king's reward should be just a bonus

[@Manx-lb1oc]

And thus, conga lines were introduced to Hungary.

[@austinreed7343]

So harsh. Maybe the people lynched them because they made a mockery of her suffering.

[@KaylaNoelle1]

Okay but why are people spanking random strangers just for dancing???

[@jacobcarpenter3744]

It was considered pagan by theological institutions at the time. Most Hungarians were Catholic after the Thirty Years' War. As such, Rome fluctuated regarding secular influence on European culture. Women performing publicly was scandalous to most people. Hence, the farmer's daughter got paddled by the baker's wife. She, in turn, took the crozier of the village priest as punishment for all.

[@vaeItaja]

Those crucified Jesus statues are all over Hungary's countryside

[@rin_etoware_2989]

Christians traditionally place crosses everywhere.

[@3kkowa]

The lamb is also a reference for Jesus body, and I suppose that Hungary is a really religious catholic place, so maybe there's this really cool touch meeting folklore and religion for the animation composing

[@444-chetiri]

I heard another version of this tale by my grandmother, but I kind of like this one a bit more. All these folktales are addicting and I can't stop watching them.

At that time dancing and acting weird or very sexually was considered to be inapropriate so its not suprising that a religious priest would punish the woman who is in this questionable situaton to put it bluntly.

[@samcline102]

When the narrator said "fat bottom" I just bursted out laughing for some reason 😂

[@seanstark4312]

I wonder why the princess was depressed, maybe she had an ex boyfriend that broke up with her

[@musicgirl12357]

Maybe she didn't want to be in an arranged marriage to a man she never knew. Think about it people would in those days often did not marry for love but political gain. It was especially the case for royalty and she might not have wanted to be a pawn for political gain thus why she could be depressed. Who knows maybe she also liked a guy with a sense of humor. Ii know it's odd looking at why a princess in a folktale is depressed but it's still fun to theorize.

Didn't felt out of place at all, I live in Brazil, but many small, older cities are inspired by old European cities and I can tell that they'll ALWAYS have a carving of Jesus on the cross or something along those lines. I've also seen pictures of European cities, it's really common.

[@anuszbizsergetokommentek2171]

Hungary was under the influence of Austria a german empire at that time so its possible that a german folktale made its way to hungary or a hungarian to german speaking lands.

[@Fucoc]

In the Norwegian version it is a golden goose, but otherwise it is the same fairy tale.
