Maybe because, in a way, there are Chindlfraesser's out their, as in
child molesters, and it was a fable to help teach little children
not to wander without an adult. It was probalbly why Heidi's
grandfather became so intent on finding his grandchild. No? I think
there's lots of truths in fairytales and fables.
Please note: I've changed the topic. Thanks...
