If this were furry fan fiction, the ending would be rather different.

Yeah, it's not like the story of Little Red Riding Hood has had any changes or modifications over the centuries.

The worst thing is, of course, that they are going to purge every copy of the original story, even electronic copies, so that if you want to read the story of Little Red Riding Hood to your children, this will be the only version available.

Right?

I don't understand. Is the Daily Mail suggesting that the versions of these tails produced by the Free Market are in some way inferior .... but ... but ...THE GOVERNMENT ARE TO BLAME.

FTFA: When it comes to Jack and the Beanstalk one can no longer rely on the ogre saying: 'Fee, fi, fo, fum.' The phrase originated from Shakespeare's King Lear.

Can anyone explain that?

Is there something wrong with King Lear now?

My wife attended a parenting group (PEPS) when we first had our son a couple of years ago. She came home with a booklet of nursery rhymes and songs for kids. They were all familiar, but different. Corrected...

It was done quite some time ago, IIRC. The vampire was killed with a steak thru the heart.

Since Bruno Bettleheim thought Little Red Riding Hood was a metaphor about the dangers of seduction after getting your first period (it's a Freudian coming of age thing), his version of the wolf is much more like fury fan fic.

What the Daily Mail misses (shock!) is that kids usually find mucking about with well-known stories hilarious. We have a copy pf the The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig which cracks them up no end.

FTA: It's like the trendy Anglican clerics who took it upon themselves in the early 1960s to knock out an 'improved' version of the King James Bible. Yet just as we allow our local vicars to get away with using the enfeebled modernised Bible, so we let bookshops get away with flogging emaciated versions of children's classics.

You've read the Daily Fail before, I see.

Actually when I say 'I see' I actually mean 'I sense' - because of course I cannot really see, having already gouged my own eyes out the last time I read a Daily Mail link

Well, I don't know about the rest of it, but I don't really like seeing the wolf depicted as a man-eating villain anyway. Do we really need to give people more excuses to shoot something that is actually a really cool animal? It's the origin of "man's best friend," so why hate on it?

Maybe the story should be about the big bad bacteria or something...

Yeah, the story would be "Little Red Pony Girl".

The point of the original story is to warn young girls of older men who appear to be nice, but are really just trying to fark them.

Unfortunately it was all undone by the candy giveaway on the part of the reformed witch in Hansel and Gretel, who provided the more substantial parts of her house to the famine-stricken families near the woodsman's cottage. That troll got diabeetus and died in the Little Match Girl Memorial Rehab Center and Hospice.

The wolf and Little Red Ridding Hood became very good friends. Since they shared a vegan lifestyle, they decided to co-habitate. They then planted their very own large vegetable garden. Little Red became rather found of the zuchinni and cukes. The wolf would eat Little Red's little pink tofu taco every night and she would devour his faux piggy in a blanket. They lapped happily ever afetr.

Ih the Eighties, "Little Red Riding Hood" was pulled from the school shelves in Jacksonville Fl when it was noted she was bringing her ailing grandmother wine in her basket to help her feel better. Can you imagine? Letting children think it is okay to be in the possesion of alcohol? Or that alcohol can make a sick person feel better? The original is obviously full of horrible messages for the children. It simply had to be rewritten.

Typical Daily Hate Mail story - badly researched and twisted facts...

True Red Riding Hood story is designed as a humorous 'prequel' to the famous story.

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-True-Story-of-Little-Red-Riding-Hood/Agnes e -Baruzzi/e/9780763644277

is one example of a review.
 
2010-01-03 08:46:35 AM
my preferred version of Little Red Riding Hood goes as follows:

Little Red Riding Hood was walking through the forest when the Big Bad Wolf jumped out in front of her and said "Little Red Riding Hood, I am going to eat you!!"

Little Red Riding Hood replied with disgust, "Eat, eat, eat!!! Doesnt anyone fark anymore!!!"
