I was reading a fairy tail, and realized that often, the moral didn't fit the story. I've created some of my own morals for your beloved fairy tales.
The Boy Who Cried Wolf
What you've been told: don't lie
The real moral: don't live in a place where there are wolves.
(doesn't that make much more sense?)
Another possible moral: make gullible friends.
Rumpelstiltskin
wybt: again, don't lie
trm: don't promise your firstborn child to a temperamental dwarf. (from the princesses point of view)
apm: make them guess your last name too. (from Rumpelstiltskin's)
Sleeping Beauty
wybt: love conquers all.
trm: don't use needles.
Cinderella
wybt: dreams come true.
trm: It's ok to sleep around as long as you have a fairy god mother to fix your mess.
Snow White
wybt: be patient. Someday your prince will come.
trm: it's ok to fill old peoples houses with animals.
apm: It's ok to sleep in a strange old mans bed as long as you clean up when your done.
apm: an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Because you're already dead.
apm: don't trust old people.
Little Red Riding Hood
wybt: obey your mother and stay on the path.
trm: old people are wolves and we should slice open their stomaches to get our relatives back.
apm: don't bother to visit grandma, wolves probably ate her already.
The Little Mermaid
wybt: follow your heart
trm: don't give your voice to an octopus
apm: if you leave your house, you will lose your tail.
