James Thurber

I like the one titled the little girl and the wolf this story made fun of the classic little red riding hood. Because the little girl was traveling to her grand mother’s house with a food basket just like in little red riding hood. The most surprising part to this story was the ending when the little girl pulled out an automatic and shot the wolf died I think it was funny how it ended and the moral was “It is not so easy to fool little girls nowadays as it used to be” which is funny and that’s why I liked this one the best.
My second favorite was The Princess And The Tin Box; A Fable For Our Time this was also a very funny fairy tale and the reason I liked this one was because it shows that human nature can be tricky and he lead us down a path which was wrong and because the irony of the story we all thought that the princess was going to pick the tin box but she picked the most expensive item instead that why its funny. The moral was “All those who thought the princess was going to select the tin box filled with worthless stones instead of one of the other gifts will kindly stay after class and write one hundred times on the blackboard "I would rather have a hunk of aluminum silicate than a diamond necklace."’ Which is funny because we all thought that was going to happen until he tricked us at the ending.
