fractured tale 14

Once upon a time in a huge flat in Los Angeles lived a seventeen-year-old called Goldielocks. She lived with her nasty dwarf mother. But, Goldielocks was not like her mother because she was an extremely attractive young woman.
One day, Goldielocks was watching MTV on her enormous TV, in her enormous bedroom, in her enormous flat, when suddenly, her mother shouted her name:
"GOLDIELOCKS, COME HERE!!!"
"What is happening?" asked Goldielocks.
"Go to Hollywood and buy me an oscar. Here is some money."

So, Goldielocks took her scooter and went to Hollywood studio to buy the oscar.
When she arrived there, she saw Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise sitting around a table. She thought What handsome boys! Suddenly, she ran to them and started to kiss Tom Cruise's cheek.
She exclaimed: "Oh! This cheek is too chubby!'
Next, Goldielocks kissed Brad Pitt's cheek and said "Oh! This cheek is too bony!"
Finally, Goldielocks kissed Johnny Depp's cheek and said "Oh! It's just perfect!"

Then, she sat on Tom Cruise's knees. She cried out: "It's too hard!"
Next, she sat on Brad Pitt's knees: "It's too uncomfortable!"
Finally she sat on Johnny Depp's knees and shouted "Oh! It's just perfect!".
Suddenly, Katie Holmes, Angelina Jolie and Vanessa Paradis arrived, "Hi Guys!", they said to the boys.
So Goldie Locks abruptly hid under the table. Katie Holmes kissed her boyfriend and whined "Someone kissed my boy!"

Next, Angelina Jolie kissed her boy and exclaimed, "Someone kissed my boy too!"
Finally, Vanessa Paradis sobbed, "My boy has a love bite on his cheek!"
The furious girls didn't understand what was happening...

Next, Katie Holmes sat on her boyfriend's knees, "Someone has already sat here!" she shouted.
After that, Angelina Jolie sat on Brad Pitt's knees and whimpered "Someone has already sat here too!"
Vanessa Paradis finally came to Johnny Depp's knees and cried: "Someone has already sat here!"

At this very moment, the women saw Goldielocks under the table and wanted to catch her, because they were very angry! But so frightened, Goldielocks ran outside and escaped.
She came back to her home when her mother yelled, "Goldielocks! Where is my Oscar?!"
Poor Goldielocks burst into sobs: "I didn't manage..." So, her nasty mum forbade her to watch MTV during one year...
The moral of this story is:

NEVER TRUST HANDSOME BOYS

Once upon a time, little red riding hood was living in a so called cute little forest, but which was to her the most boring place ever...Every week-end she had to go to her grand-mother’s, on foot, although it's 4 hours away, and to make it harder she had to carry a heavy basket!!

Her grand-mother was the wicked woman in the world. Every time she visited her the grand-mother criticised her and never showed any gratitude. The grand-mother became greedy and embittered because of her huge heritage she wanted to keep to her grave.So little red riding hood decided to help her a little ...

One week-end, when she arrived to her grand-mother’s home, she was the nicest little girl possible. As the day passed the grand-mother seemed to be a better grand-mother, so once in front her teeth glass, in which she had planned to put a poison, she had some scruple until her grand -mother said, "This red hood makes you look fat !" In a short move the poison was spooned in the glass. Of course the grand-mother put her teeth back to eat her grand-daughter’s delicious cake, and red riding hood left the house her work done. Once back little red riding hood told her mother how the big bad wolf had eaten grand-mother and how she was able to get out of his claws.The morale? The truth doesn’t always come out of the child's mouth. (French expression!)

Once upon a time little Red Riding Hood was watching TV in her house, and her mother was unhappy because her daughter had already spent two hours in front of the TV. The mother asked Little Red Riding Hood to bring a basket to her grandmother.

She walked in the forest and she saw the wolf that was blowing the three pigs’ houses. Instead of helping them she burst out laughing and she continued on her way. On the road she came across something unpleasant: it was a wicked wolf. But he didn't seem to be wicked because he wore a nice costume and he had a beautiful car. He asked Little Red Riding Hood where she was going. She was rather clever so she answered that she was going to the butcher’s to buy a nice steak. The wolf didn't trust her so he sent a message to his boss who ordered him to follow her. By following her, he arrived in front of a small hut. He waited for the Little Red Riding Hood to enter the hut and followed her. He perceived her grandmother who was staring at him and said, "mm...mm... some meat for me!!! Thanks Little Red Riding Hood." At this moment he received a message from his boss, "Do not go into the hut! Grand mother is a monster! She's going to eat you!!!" But it was too late and the grandmother devoured the wolf.

The End

fractured tale 11

Once upon a time, not a long time ago, there was a Queen who had a beautiful baby daughter. For the christening, the Queen invited all the Kingdom's fairies but she forgot one of them. However she came but she was very furious and she cast a spell on the little Princess,“When you are sixteen, you will eat a poisoned apple and die."

The years went by; the little Princess grew and became the most beautiful girl in the whole Kingdom.

The Princess, on her sixteenth birthday, went to a fair in her village with her friends but although she knew that she couldn't eat apples, she ate a toffee apple because she didn't know what it was. So instantly she dropped to the floor. She was brought to the castle by her friends and her mother was very terrified when she saw her.

Then the Queen called the doctors and wizards but they couldn't do anything. The good fairy was called too. The Queen said to her "When will my little girl waken?” The good fairy said that the Princess would sleep for a long time and she would only wake up if a man were to fall in love with her. The Queen didn't know how a man could fall in love with a sleeping girl, but she was determined to find this man.

So, everyone that lived in the castle went to find a man for the Princess who was sleeping in her bedroom. Two months later, the Queen was depressed, she hadn't found a man. So she decided to organise a stream with all the men who lived in the Kingdom.
The day after, a lot of men were in front of the castle. Soldiers, ministers, guards, servants kissed the Princess but she continued to sleep. The Queen was disheartened because there were only two men left: a woodcutter and a horseman. The horseman went into the Princess's bedroom and kissed her.

At that kiss, the Princess quickly opened her eyes and woke from her long sleep. The horseman was happier than the Queen who was astounded and she didn't want that a horseman and her daughter were getting married.

But the Queen just wanted happiness for her little girl who accepted that the horseman and her daughter were married.
They lived happily ever after and had many children.

fractured tale 10

Once upon a time, there was a young handsome smart strong and poor boy called Jack who was living with his old ugly mother in a little cottage, far, far away.
One day, his mother sent him to the market to sell their silly donkey which was sleeping all the time instead of working.

On the way, Jack met a strange man, a guru, who told him to exchange his stupid donkey for five magic beans. Jack didn't hesitate and accepted the offer.
When he returned home, and showed the beans to his mother who was so happy. She planted them carefully.

During the night, a marvellous giant beanstalk had grown. Jack, who was very glad, began to climb up the imposing plant.

After a while of climbing, the boy came to a cloud. But it wasn't a usual cloud: Jack could see a marvellous castle far away.

He came near the palace, and could see a lot of people, who wore clothes, dresses for dinner: it was the ball of the Prince. The entire world was invited.... so Jack invited himself!
And it was a good idea: when he saw a beauty dancing with the Prince (nobody knew her name), he understood he had found what he needed not to be poor.
Because our Jack was clever, and above all, a manipulator he decided to kidnap the young woman, who was surely rich and who might give some money to his mother and himself.... and so he did....

He kidnapped the « princess » in front of all the dancers, the Prince included, ran as quickly as he could up to the beanstalk, went down the plant, and went back home, where his mother was waiting him.

But when he went inside his home, midnight rang...at the twelfth stroke, the magnificent princess turned into a poor servant... it was Cinderella!!
Jack, on a wire edge, didn't have time to debrief the poor girl because the Prince came.
Then before followed an arguing between Jack and the Prince, who wanted to recover his love (he was hung up on the beauty), he offered Jack immediately much money in return. Jack accepted the offer, he thirsted for wealth...

Well, the Prince gave two marvellous objects to Jack: a golden harp that played music alone, and a hen laying golden eggs, in exchange for his love, Cinderella. And so, the kind Prince was ready to sacrifice his fortune for the girl of his heart....
Jack the Machiavellian had to agree and the two men made the exchange.
Cinderella and the good Prince went back to the castle in clouds, and the bad Jack and his mother lived rich for the rest of their life. And all of them lived happily ever after, the silly donkey included..."
