Rewrite a children’s tale of your choice from the perspective of one of the supporting characters. Be true to the character as you consider the style in which the character would choose to tell the story and the type of perspective he or she would have. Examples: The story of the three pigs as told by the pig that made his house out of bricks; Snow White as told by Grumpy; Cinderella as told by the stepsister.

answer:

Cinderella - Her evil stepmother and stepsisters would not let her go to the ball, but her fairy godmother made it happen with magic. She danced with the prince and they fell in love. Since she had to leave by midnight, she ran and lost one slipper. The prince found the slipper and searched for her. After he found her, they were married and lived happily ever after.

Elves and the Shoemaker - A shoemaker and his wife were very poor. One day they ran out of leather so they went to bed. In the morning, they found a pair of shoes and a passerby bought them. The next night, another pair of shoes appeared. The third night they hid and saw two elves making shoes. In gratitude, they made clothes for the elves, as winter was approaching. The elves were very happy and went on to help someone else.

Emperor's New Clothes - A vain emperor hired two people to make him some new clothes. The tricked him, telling him the cloth was not visible to people unfit for his position or who were very stupid. At first the people pretended to see the clothes, but a child says that he is not wearing clothes and people start to agree. The emperor realized he was swindled but continues the parade anyway.

answer:

The jury at Durham Crown Court announced their

verdict at the end of the trial of A. Wolf (he prefers

to be FONDLY known as Al). Al was found guilty

of the harassment of the Three Little Pigs. As the

verdict was announced an overwhelming cheer

echoed around the courtroom. Oinks of sheer

delight were shared by many.

The prosecution team, led by Piggy Parker, were

delighted by the result. Miss Parker declared, "At

last justice has been exercised!"

The innocent, harmless pigs won the day. The

scoundrel, Al, will now be punished for his

unscrupulous, wolfish behaviour. "Revenge is

sweet," snorted Miss Pig, with glee!

The defence team, led by Foxy Ramsey, were

immensely disappointed by the outcome. Foxy

Ramsey issued the following statement, "A great

injustice has been bestowed upon our client. Mr. Al

is devastated by the result."

The defence team were jeered at as they left the

courtroom. One person in the courtroom referred

to them as a ‘pack of liars’. They were extremely

subdued as they retreated to their den. What little

hope they had of victory, was now gone. They

never really had a strong case. Mr. A. Wolf was

quite obviously guilty. It was clearly evident that

he was determined to ruin the lives of the peaceloving pigs. During the trial ‘Al’ tried to portray

himself as a caring soul. He claimed he only

wanted to borrow a cup of sugar from the pigs.

(What a sweetie!)

Whilst giving evidence, he said that, the Pigs’

homes were destroyed by his uncontrollable

sneezing. Mr. A. Wolf claimed that he had a

terrible cold. He wanted us to believe that as he

approached the homes of the Pigs, his nose

twitched and before he could say, "Bless me," he

sneezed, puff, down fell the houses.

Has Mr. Wolf heard of ‘Beechams Cold Capsules’?

Judge Porky Panting beamed with joy as the

verdict was announced. He thanked the foreman of

the jury and then sentenced A. Wolf to 7 years. He

issued a warning to all would-be pig stalkers. He

said that pigs must be allowed to live life without

harassment. He warned wolves to beware.

"Any wolf out there," he cried, "who wants a cup

of sugar, should do what any other decent animal

would do – go to the local SUPERMARKET!"

And so oink all of us!
