German bedtime story

Don't suck your thumbs kids

I'm pretty sure the real story was very similar to this, except in that version a monster came in and cut off his thumbs, and his mom came home and was like "well wtf did I tell you?"

Ahh, that's German childhood to you. A depressed bread, two brothers who got baked into bread and children almost dying in a witches house because they used bread instead of stones to find their way back. (Turns out we really like bread)
