There is a lot of fun in messing up with existing stories. To be sure, though, I am not too sure that I can do it here on my blog.
"Time to book a place in the cemetery and the old fool still plays around with fairy tales." I can almost hear you say that. So, what do you do when you have an urge that you cannot scratch? Find a place where you can.
Thankfully for me, my good friend 'The Fool' runs a blog - Three Realms of the mind - dedicated to Science Fiction and fantasy and is currently putting up a series of rewritten fairy tales. There I went to scratch my itch and this is the result.
arre wah! so u can tell fairy tales too? that was really cute....to read it from the little bear's point of view....thankfully daddy bear wasn't hooked to his computer and mummy bear wasn't playing candy crush!
ReplyDeleteHa! Then Goldilocks would have had to eat virtual porridge :)
DeleteI loved this one! "Parents just do not seem to care for the comfort of their children. If their first few suggestions do not meet your approval, they turn unsympathetic."
ReplyDeleteIt might look comical, but it sure had a hard hitting reality in there!
Thanks Soumya! Actually. I think most good humor is about reality told in a funny manner :) Sort of sugar-coated medicine :)
Delete:) i knew someone will take the bear's side thank god..

Thanks Bikram! After all, that stupid girl intruded into someone else's house, ate up someone else's porridge, broke a chair and messed up a bed. My only regret is that she got off scot-free after committing so much mayhem :)
DeleteNicely done Suresh..especially the parents' psychology... :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks Maniparna
DeleteGreat! I know an out-of-work fairy godmother, in case you want to interview her - Sonia Gandhi. :D
