Three Little Pixies and the Big Bad Mr. Fox

So, if you didn't already know...
My best friend Sara and I did our last blog together, since my computer didn't like me! Here it is: http://dothwhatshehadsaid.blogspot.com/2012/11/by-sara-and-jessie-d.html.
Click on it, I know you want to!

Anyways, we're supposed to talk about it's many different variations... Like, the coolest, the weirdest, most interesting, et cetera.


Okay... the weirdest one, well what I think is weird, is the one called "The Fox and the Pixies." It's just. . . odd. But it does have a lot in common with the three little pigs... There are three pixies and one fox. Sound familiar? But that's about the only similarities... The last living pixie charms the fox to go into a box, and then he dies in there. Kind of disturbing, if you ask me.

The one I thought was pretty cool was "The Fox and the Geese." It was in a poem form.. Like you know, every other line rhymed. It was cool... But also very odd. The three geese's mother died and was like "Watch out for that Mr. Fox! Build strong houses!" The first goose used a box for a house and got eaten. And then the second one built her house out of bricks. But alas, she thatched the roof out of straw and the fox burned it and then he ate her. The last goose made a brick house with a tile roof.. And then she killed the fox in a butter churn. 

Nice endings, eh?
