The moral of the story of Hansel and gretel is don't go into the forest alone and don't trust the spooky old lady who offers you treats. The same way little red riding hood is about stranger danger and how if something seems off you should trust your gut instinct. Not all fables make sense but Hansel and Gretel has great lessons in there. (Eventhough the children literally commit murder)

First get income to qualify for a Roth IRA. It can be as simple as getting a 1099. Pay the tax now so you dont have to pay a higher tax later. Its best you start this account as early in your life as possible. This is your long term investment. Then get a stock account to invest in dividen stocks. It does not matter what broker you deal with. Just pick whatever you like. Buying and selling stocks is not what you should do with this account. The tax is high and the laddering strategy is a massive hassle. Get dividen stocks and look for ones that pay a high percentage. A stock like AT&T is perfect. The more shares you have, the more dividens you get. The value of the stock does not matter very much as long as you still recieve dividens. This is your midterm investment. Then if you have a high deductable health plan, get an HSA account. NOT FSA. ITS HSA. Here is where you can buy and sell stocks TAX FREE. Whenever you have a medical expense, pay out of pocket and keep the reciept in a cool, dry, dark area. You can later submit that reciept whenever you'd like and get the money tax free. The best part is you can use the money for whatever you want. This is your short term investment. Then, I'd also advise investing some money in buying physical precious metals at the end of each year. You dont need to spend a lot. Just $200 would be fine. I'd advise you keep these in a safe place. This is only for absolute emergencies if you somehow can acess needed resources through normal means. Also, It is a good idea for you to have this just incase you die and dont have much to pass on to whoever is the beneficiary.

I haven't heard too many of these types of stories. What I heard all the time were stories about a female protagonist who was virtuous and kind, but utterly passive. Then this virtuous girl ends up in a terrible situation, but her gosh darn sweetness carries the day. Her complete inaction and general pleasant demeanor causes some magical being to solve all of the girl's problems and then she marries a prince. Then there's usually a mean girl who doesn't listen to anyone and eats the magical tart that was made for the orphans and kicks the talking cat that warns her about the dangers ahead and she's eventually punished and ripped apart by swarms of ants made of gold.

One of my favorite creators and the level of both humour and sincerity meshing so we'll is an art on top of the narrative, satiric, and visual arts you employ. Thanks for the wonderful works.

Glad to see you're uploading more frequently! What a good Friday!

These types of stories happened because when people kept facing the shittiest conditions, they would still have to lie to themselves that it's okay. So the logic of "if you don't like this, just wait till you see the alternative (of having everyone belittle you until you die alone), and you'll come back running for the lesser of the two evils" became the only thing they could think of. And it went so for long time until now when things are much better for a lot of people, a large chunk of these people still think "they worked every minute of their life for this, in horrible conditions" despite coming from a good family with a decent income, and a lot of opportunity. And these people are the exact type to have the necessary spare time to voice out in public how horrible the new generation is for not working in "the coal mine", how adversity breeds greatness, and how they had it "tough" and it pushed them to be better. This isn't to say that it's good to be comfortable constantly, since life just doesn't work that way. You can be the most successful person on the planet and you can still trip, hit your head on a coffee table and have to face the effects for the rest of your life. Almost nothing is in your control. And you have to accept that, and try to be ready for it, but that doesn't mean to force other people into artificially adverse condition "just to build character". There are other ways, such as encouraging, enabling positive traits, and supporting them. Wonderful animation as always!

To be fair to other fables and fairy tales, using bad material to build a house can result in it collapsing and killing you, talking to random wolves in the woods is dangerous (unless it is a werewolf, which is just a 50/50 chance), and *Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.*

my favorite old fairytales are the ones about some jackass rabbit who keeps stealing produce from a mean ol' farmer who we're supposed to not sympathize with.

love ya blilliant vids, they expect from everyone to think

Cough- Aight fair, the unreliable narrator was responsible for much of childhood tales I guess Although there’s an argument to be had and a statement to be made about enjoying every moment of childhood, and the culture that formed just trying to recover some of that, I don’t think it’s really gonna fit here ahah,,

The children, they yearn for the mines.

Can't wait to contract black lungs! 5/5 stars, great coal mine!

This motivated me to disappear more school buses

A true American classic.

I love this story. it shows how its not as simple as it sounds and even though you could be verry successful if you gave up what made you happy, but you dont want to because that happiness is what motivates you Johnny was forced to grow up to fast

Johnny the rabbit so yearned for the mines that his grandfather could not keep him above ground

So... *We have a kid* (no idea about the age of that kid though, but, if he is 18, his dad died when he was 8. Pretty hard for a kid) *with both attention disorder* (Probably a result of his grandparents indifference toward him, and, his dad, which as we see, was his only living parent dying from overwork, leaving the question: What happened to mom? Is she even alive?) *and probably hyperactivity on top of that* (for the same reasons), *which thanks to his grandpa, is thrown into a harsh and unjust workplace where he has to drug himself up* (Due to lack of experience in physical labor (I know that from personal experience)) *with coffee just to spend the day working, with, on top of that, a high probability that he had a bad home education with high amount of pressure from his grandparents (and maybe parents), as he is pretty much confirmed to be unable to say no both to overwork, and his grandfather taught him it was useless anyway. On top of that, you add the fact that he is paid so little, he is left with no money for his own pleasures.* (No minimum wage. GREAT!) *After an unknown amount of time, he decides to leave. Both physically and mentally exhausted from overwork, coffee addiction and probably an unstable home situation,* (as it is hinted that he lives away from his grandparents later, considering the grandpa picks him up) *Making him unable to pay rents, and throwing him in the streets. Here, people* (Vultures) *make fun of him and drag him even lower to depression, to the point that he would have left himself to die. But OH THANKFULLY his grandfather comes to help him aaaaaaaaand throw him back in his hell hole of a workplace that is the coal mine.* *But now, thanks to his extremely bad social experience of homelessness alongside his others mental disorders, he constantly feels like he needs to prove himself better than anyone, as he feels like the lowest of trash (another mental disorder BTW). And the peoples* (the vultures they are) *See his rise toward success and decide they want a share too. Making his forever unsatisfied thrive for self perfection even worse, until one day, his body crumbles under the strains of time and overwork, just for him to die absolutely happy and married* (Sarcasm) *At the age of 35.* WHAT A TOUCHING STORY ABOUT FAMILY AND LOVE AIN'T IT FOLKS?!?

Now see, this is why isekais are a thing. When your life sucks this much, sometimes you need to just start over (usually via death and reincarnation) and become a genius hero who usually has to bear the weight of the world on his shoulders, be potentially manipulated by a bunch of cunning politicians in power, end up running around with a harem of women (who may genuinely love him if he’s lucky) , as he fights a long and bloody war that somehow doesn’t leave him with PTSD, or maybe it does, and the story just don’t dwell on it all that often, except for plot. And maybe afterwards he’ll return to his former dystopian reality, with all the power needed to reshape the world to his whims, or maybe he’ll stay in his formerly-dystopian reality and make the best of it. Isekais are rather jarring when you look too closely at them, no?

“The children, they yearn for the mines.” - Jens “Jeb” Bergensten

the children yearn for the mines.

I google the definition of "Fable" and this is what google gave me: "a short story, typically with animals as characters, conveying a moral." -Characters are animals -There is a Moral -It is short Yup, this check all of the requirements, look good to me.....

but what if, this entire story is a metaphor for his own life? that this video is not meant to be a based on any old story at all? that he tricked us, decieved us?

Excited to watch this

This is one of those videos that’s gonna be remembered in 12 years and it’s like oh yeah, that was KZread at the time

I thought the same when my grandpa died. wasn’t sad, he was in pain and he gave me a lot for my future own home. Is just a bit awkward when your standing like nothing is and everything is crying.

What a beautiful story Thank you very much

this is a really valuable life lesson

Have you seen what minecraft has become the kids yearn for the mines.

"He could just put more sugar in his bowl and be QUIET." "...So anyway one night after Johnny was punished for putting too much sugar in his bowl." I think that's why he didn't do it Matt

The hero's journey right there.

You're right, not quite how I remember it

the children yearn for the mines

Honestly this is really funny and I thoroughly enjoyed it and it shows just how hypocritical and silly the people who believes these things are! Something I slightly dislike though is how some people would un-ironically think that the moral is that 'you should work in a coal mine' and that 'durr union bad' because the type of people to agree with the supposed 'moral' of the story are also the type of people to not understand sarcasm.

You would not believe the amount of people who thought the old man had a point. I learned that apparently if you make a story structure with an intentionally horrible moral, some people will still look at the story and go "but it made sense!"

Fun fact about me... I work at a grocery store which eats at my soul every day and I’m also in school to become a vet tech because I love animals but I’m afraid I’ll be happy for a few weeks and then my soul will further into the black nothingness when I fall into a routine😃

Ah a classic fable my papa would read to me every night.

Upon further consideration, dearest patriarch of my hypothetical household, I no longer wish to internalize a tale auditorily.

“I’ve never heard this story before” Ya that’s cuz he made it, it’s a more intense representation of the crap people do to their kids and how certain things expected of everyone are so blatantly stupid but no one ever questions it because they’ve been raised in it and anyone who does question it is ridiculed, but also the protagonist is a rabbit for the sake of the joke that “It’s just a silly story” as fables are silly stories with lessons with animal characters /nm

I've been saying this for years. Glad to see there is still some common sense left in the world.

Your nephew kept asking for bedtime stories, huh?

You f****** legend! Most 2+ hour movies have less to say than your videos.
