Post Eight for May My favourite fairytale story is probably Little Red Riding Hood. Now, the modern version ends with Red being saved by the woodsman who kills off the wicked wolf. But actually, in the original French version written by Charles Perrault the little girl is in fact a well-bred young lady who is given false instructions by the wolf to her grandmother's house. She takes the advice and gets eaten by the wolf and that, quite realistically is where the story ends here. I'm not a fan of happy endings. I like reality and sometimes there is no woodsman, no grandmother just a lesson to not take advice from creepy strangers... #authormathomas #authorschallenge2019 #fairytaletragedy #notahappyending #writingprompts #maychallenfe #authorsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BxLwOyOnAug/?igshid=17r6jjtzlpw3h
