There was one, that I was reading to my boys once upon a time, that I came to this point that I was in utter shock at what was happening as I was reading it aloud. I had to start skipping parts and making stuff up. It was called The Seven League Boots and if it was bad enough the state of the seven poor hungry children that the dad carried to the woods and abandoned , because he and his wife couldn't bear to watch them starve to death in front of them (sounds familiar right?) but these 7 kids come to an ogres house who eats little children... and then, to make a long story short, a really long detailed story, the ogre accidentally sneaks up while the children are sleeping in their beds to slit their throats! but the good part is , that the seven victimized children swapped beds with the ogres seven children , they took their clothes also , and so the ogre he was shocked and angry that he had killed his own children, and so the children do manage to get away after being more traumatized during pursuit, but they get away, thanks to the Seven League boots, that belong to the Ogre, because they are Magical (wheeeeee) and when its all over and done, the poor children do make It back home with abundance of food and other material things they steal from the Ogre, and then, the children and their parents live happily ever after.
See how well I remember that after all these years and I only read it ONCE.
