In Little Brother & Little Sister, the siblings leave home & LB is transformed into a young deer when he drinks from a spring, cursed by their stepmother.

LS cares for the deer & uses him as a pillow.

Oddly, Little Deer enjoys being chased by huntsmen…

The deer leads the hunt to his sister & the king falls in love with her. They marry 👑

When the stepmother finds out LB & LS are alive & rich, she casts a spell on her own one-eyed daughter so she looks like LS, but the spell can’t replace the missing eye.

The daughter lies in the king’s bed with her missing eye hidden. 👀

LS returns nightly to see her child & deer. The King hears about the trick & waits for her. Once found out, the stepmother & daughter are torn apart by wild beasts in the woods. 🌳

Of course, LB turns back into a man because he is a “good” character. 🦌

Whereas the one-eyed daughter is a “bad” character & represented to be physically lesser than Little Sister.

But I’d *love* to read this story from the daughter’s point of view!
