Plot

The plot is based on the fairy tale of the same name which was written by the Brothers Grimm.

gollark: It may be possible to mathematically describe sadness, but we don't have good enough mathematical modems of the brain yet and it would be very complex anyway.
gollark: I can't really mathematically describe "love" or "bees" but that doesn't mean they're some amazing complex insight.
gollark: Okay. I don't care.
gollark: "Sadness" is some complex state or collection of states or something which the brain gets in, generally because of a bad thing of some sort.
gollark: Or in my case complex "solid state farming" machines which grow trees in magic boxes.
