Abstract
True to this series, the retold version of BW adds colorful details about what the boy wants to do to overcome boredom and the not-very-attractive offers he makes to the people whom he has just fooled. The third encounter has the boy proclaiming that the wolf has not only big teeth but bad breath. I agree that the story would appeal to children of age 8 to 12. At the end the boy could only cry and offer bad jokes, one of which is presented at the end of this version's story.. As 18 declares, "This version of the story is different from the original. It has jokes and silly images. But the moral stayed the same." The questions on 23 may provoke good reflection.
