My favorite stories were the first one and the last one. I thought that the first one was really funny how the little girl couldn't be fooled like most little girls in fairy tales. She wasn't some helpless little girl when she pulled out a gun and shot the wolf. This surprised me that he didn't have the wolf trick and eat the girl. I think that Thurber wanted to make fun and show that girls are deffinantly nieve like most think. He used the story Little Red Riding hood for this story.
I liked the last one also because while I was reading it I thought that she would choose the poor prince like how most fairy tales would have it. What surprised me about this story was that unlike most stories she was greedy and chose one of the rich prices. I think that Thurber was trying to make fun of how we would think that she would be good and choose the poor nice prince. I don't think that this story was based off of a particular fairy tale.
