Hey, Jenn (though anybody can answer, really)

When it comes to fairy tales...

Do you want the GOOD kind, where the parents abandon their kids, and the witch eats children and locks Hansel in a cage and is eventually hoisted on her own petard? Or the wussy kind where the kids innocently get lost and the witch turns the kids into gingerbread decorations?

The GOOD kind, where Granma gets eaten and the wolf gets chopped into bits? Or the dull kind, where Granma hides in the cloest and the wolf runs away?

The GOOD kind, where the Queen wants to eat Snow White, and ends up dancing in iron slippers? Or the strange kind, where the girl leaves for some unknown reason?

I remeber our storytelling teacher told us that in the original version of Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf made her take off her clothes and throw them in the fire, drink a jar of her grandmother's blood and get in bed with him!!!! One of the ladies in the class was so traumatized by this version she never returned to class!
