Old Stories
These are old stories from Europe written a few hundred years ago. There is no copyright on writings 70 years after an author's death.
The authors of these stories have been dead now for a few hundred years.
Little Red Riding Hood
Little Red Riding Hood went to visit her grandmother. Unfortunately, a big wild grey wolf of the fields had gotten into her grandmother's bed.
"Grandmother, what big eyes you have."
"That's so I can see things in my dreams."
"Grandmother, what a big nose you have."
"That is where I can smell the good meals."
The wolf leapt into the air, and like a Haida killer whale, had eaten little red riding hood in one chomp.
She was imprisoned in the wolf's belly. She flicker her lighter a few times so she could see.
However, a hunter who suspected that something would happen had burst in and using an axe, had cut open the wolf's belly and released little red riding hood.
The Three Pigs
Once there were three pigs. Unfortunately, a big grey wild wolf of the fields had stumbled the houses of the three pigs.
The house of the first pig was made of straw. The wolf used his lighter and burned it down.
The house of the second pig was made of wood. The wolf used an axe to chop it down.
The house of the third pig was made of brick. He could not break it down so he left.
A month later, he was killed at Little Red Riding Hood's Grandma's House, as was illustrated in the last story.
Jack and the Magic Beans
One day, Jack found some magic beans. He had read a lot about magic beans before. He always wanted to plant them. Now he had his chance.
He planted the beans a few miles from his mother's house. The beans grew and then they twisted around each other to become a magic beanstalk, just like he read about in books.
He climbed the beanstalk.
It went on above and over the clouds.
He somehow happened upon a giant's house, just like he read about in books. The Giant was asleep at the kitchen table.
When the Giant awoke, Jack hid in an oven.
However, the Giant said, "What's that smell?"
Jack saw a solid gold coin. This coin was large enough that not only was the value in gold, but that it was of a rare extra terrestrial mintage. He took it and ran. The giant, coming back from his walk saw Jack.
Jack climbed down the beanstalk quickly.
The Giant was climbing down when Jack used a chainsaw and chopped down the beanstalk.
The giant was dead on the cobblestones below. His head cracked open on the pavement.
Jack sold the gold coin for a lot of money.
The Frog Prince
One day, a frog met a Princess. For some reason, the frog had enchanted the Princess with his natural fearless charm and with his talent in the arts.
Then one day after they knew each other for a few years, the Princess kissed the frog first without him even expecting it.
This changed him into a Prince.
After knowing each other for a few more years, they got married.
