“…and after the wolf ate Little Red, the strong woodcutter came and cut open the wolf’s stomach and saved Little Red.”

“But mommy, why did he kill the wolf? Isn’t that mean?”

“He did that to save Little Red…”

“But it’s not right to kill anyone or anything!”

“Er…”

“And he’s a woodcutter! Doesn’t he cut trees? That’s not nice!”

“But we need wood to live…”

“But…it’s not nice! You shouldn’t cut trees! We’ll run out!”

“Darling, please. It’s just a story”

“Yeah, it is, but kids like me listen to this, and they’ll think it’s ok to kill animals and cut trees!”

“Not everyone will believe fairy tales, dear”

“But so many little kids around the world listen to them and believe them! It’s not nice to lie to me mommy!”

“I’m sorry, sweetheart. Just go to sleep now”

“No! I can’t sleep when kids like me believe stories like this!”

“Now, sweetie, go to sleep. We’ll talk again in the morning.”

“No mommy. I want to help the trees and the animals!”

“You can help them tomorrow, but now go to sleep, darling.”

“Fine”

“Nighty night sweetie”

“Goodnight mommy. I promise I’ll help the trees and animals tomorrow.”
