Devon and the three bears

"Thats not the real story!" exclaimed Devon, while I was home reading in grade 2. He was angry over the outline of the three bears as the author had put a twist on this classic. It took a little boy in grade 2 to bring attention to something that happens everyday. Don't we add our own twist to our life stories? There are always three sides to every story, the truth and the other two accounts. I like to believe that people are inherently good, not trying to knock others down purposely. Just like the fable of Goldilocks and the three bears. Goldilocks didn't go into the house to break baby bears chair, eat his breakfast and fall asleep for revenge. She was lost, tired and hungry and stumbled upon a house in the woods. It was safe, warm and had a hearty breakfast ready. So take a moment and think about what would baby bears story be? Probably that this blonde was a thief, vandal and outlaw. Not to mention a scatter brain. Who goes out in the woods alone? Wow, wouldn't the lawyers have a heyday. Just remember to think about the other side in your own story. It just might make a difference in the outcome of the fairy-tale.
