#30 - When fairy tales get their wires crossed the unexpected happens
In this episode I read "The Three Little Pigs" by Roald Dahl. It is an adaptation of the popular folktale by the same name with a twist in the end. I love poetry that reimagines folktales and fairy tales that have been passed down to children through generations. Most tales had a standard interpretation and very stark whites and blacks to ensure children learnt something while being entertained. Often involving animals, these stories were meant to be an instruction for life. However as we all grow up and learn, perspective is everything and there's always another side to the story. This adaptation though is just a fun interpretation of not just one but two tales and is written in the classic engaging style of Roald Dahl. I tried my hand at sing-song too. Listen in!
