Each story teaches a separate lesson, although the lessons are not inherent within the tales themselves. At no point do the tales come off as paternal or condescending, instead they hold a character entirely their own which differs from normal folklore in that it is accepting. None of the stories are exceedingly dark as the traditional German tales, instead they simply accept the world - both good and bad - with a humor that is admirable.
There is a lot to learn from these stories, and I can tell you, me, that I'm going to try to memorize them to pass them on. :) ( )
