The Rose Tree Notes:
Little girl - murdered by stepmother. Beautiful, golden hair and sweet demeanor.
Brother - loves his sister. Very sad when she's murdered
Father - absent
Stepmother - Evil. Murders little girl out of jealousy.
My wicked mother slew me
My dear father ate me,
My little brother whom I love
Sits below, and I sing above
Stick, stock, stone dead.
Bird gathers items by singing this song. Father and brother go outside and receive shiny items. Stepmother is tricked into going outside, and the bird drops a millstone on her head.
