WIY: that comment about the Germans and the concentration camp was so out of line. WWII was not a joke.
oomis: Any way you can write a book of fairytales with a yiddishe ta’am?! Although i do have a knack of telling stories, 1) I wont bring fairytale books into my home cuz even if i wanted to change around the story, the pictures tell otherwise. 2) I would rather tell a tale about tzaddikim/tzidkaniyos, middos books, stories with a lesson, etc.
seeallsides: While the “stories” in the torah are scary, they are taught to young children in a way that they can handle it. As you get older the “stories” are taught in greater detail. For example: a child will learn about krias yam suf with the mitzriyim drowning. When you get older, you learn how some drowned right away, some slowly, and some suffered tremendously before dying.
reyidd23: most of these ridiculous fairytales are just that and unfit to be read to children. Someone is almost always killed or dies. Someone always does something wrong-but no lesson involved.
tzaddiq: +1
