- Abstract
- en_US True to this series, this retold version of WSC is funny. The fun starts when this wolf orders a pizza but then realizes that he has no money. He decides to go after sheep, but the shepherd chases him away. This shepherd exclaims "My what big teeth you have! Oops! Wrong story." This wolf considers possibilities, like a helicopter or a magic wand, and rejects them. Then he comes on the idea of using an old Halloween costume. After the wolf makes off with one sheep, the female shepherd looks at the wolf-sheep as a good meal. When the shepherd carries her off, she cries "Ah-wooo" and the shepherd responds "I think you mean 'baa.'" I agree that this version would appeal to children of age 8 to 12. As 18 declares, "This version of the story is different from the original. It has jokes and silly images. But the moral stayed the same." That moral is "The evil doer often comes to harm through his own deceit." The reflections on 22 are apt for children, and the questions on 23 may provoke good reflection.
