Given the oral nature of folklore, no such thing exists and even if it did, there are much older and nastier versions of this particular tale type. Medusa's eyes will turn you to stone even through a reflection. This was not the case with the original myths; in fact, the hero Perseus famously managed to decapitate Medusa because he was looking at her through his shield's reflection.

The Land of Stories / int_a86069f	comment	Alternate History: The fact that Froggy’s background didn’t ring any bells for the twins, even after learning about a long lost prince, implies the tale of The Frog Prince doesn’t exist. The President of the United States is a woman, despite that not having happened yet.

In “Beyond the Kingdoms,” the story changes into him being cursed because Morina thought he was breaking up with her for being ugly, despite the real reason being that she was a witch.

Mother Goose is the Fairy Godmother's best friend and also is very close to Conner. Cornelia Grimm Bree's distant cousin learned how to fly sometime in the sixties and is willing to help her fifteen-year-old cousin learn the same way she did although, the same way her father taught her, she secretly had autopilot on the whole time. Finally, Emgee appears to be just as much of a badass as her namesake and inspiration, Mother Goose.

Though they don't show their shame, they all admit that he's right, and the fairy is pardoned.
