Once upon a time, there was a
grandmother who loved a wolf, a wolf who mourned her death so much he
dressed up as her, and a girl who killed the wolf because she was
unable to accept a love that didn’t fit into her worldview.
Once upon a time, there was a wicked
fairy godmother who cursed a princess to always appear as she was,
and no amount of magic or plastic surgery would ever change that.
Once upon a time, there was stepmother
who was not wicked at all but no one could bring themselves to
believe it so: in the end, not even she could, and it went so very
bad for everyone.
Once upon a time, there was a good
fairy godmother who didn’t grant a single wish and inspired
princesses and princes, stableboys and country lasses to improve
their own lives instead of waiting for her to come: there are no
stories about her.
Once upon a time, there was an evil
witch who would curse her enemies with tooth rot and let the dentists
take care of the rest of her work for her.
Once upon a time, there was a hero who
rescued so many damsels in distress that the kingdom plum ran out of
them; in order to keep him happy, the damsels began capturing each
other using elaborate disguises to fool him.
Once upon a time, there was a dragon
who let himself be slain by the knight in the sure and certain
knowledge that his hoard of gold would devastate the local economy.
