Fairy tale rewrite

This week in second grade (the way all good stories start:)), the miniature masterminds are writing fairy tales. Very amusing.

For example, Vincent writes,
"Then the mermaid girl dies. And they all live happily ever after."

I explained to him that having a good character die at the end of a fairy tale is not true to the genre and probably wouldn't aid in everyone else's happy existence.

Then there's Joi who wrote about "Snow White and the Seven Drawers." This led to a great vocabulary discussion about the minor differences between "drawers" and "dwarves."

Bet you've never read fairy tales like the ones I've been reading.
