After reading these, choose your two favorite stories from these.  Why were they your favorites? What suprised you in them? what was Thurber making fun of? Did he use another fable or fairytale as his basis?

The Little Girl and the Wolf
I thought this story was funny because the girl failed to see the fact that her grandmother had been eaten but instead shot the wolf for trying to trick her. Thurber was making fun of the goody-goody-two-shoes we all thought little red riding hood was and having her pull a gun on the wolf. He used the fairy tail of little red riding hood.
The Unicorn in the Garden
This story kinda confused me. I didn't quite understand it but it was pretty interesting. The whole story surprised me, the ending especially. I honestly don't really know what fable or fairy tail this was pulled from either. but it was a fun little stry to read.
