Have you ever wondered what
happened to all of the "bad guys" in those classic fairy tale stories?
It's not what you think. Maybe they did get caught and are behind bars
for life. Maybe they were at the wrong place at the wrong time and got
blamed. For example, Cinderella's step family is not that bad. The
story of Little Red Riding Hood? A scam. The Big Bad Wolf is innocent!
You want the real story of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, The
Three Little Pigs and Jack and the Beanstalk? Just ask the Big Bad
Wolf. Oh, but he goes by "The Wolf" now, you understand. Here he is:
Yeah, OK, I get it. Very funny, people. You think that just because I
ate Little Red Riding Hood that I'm going to eat you? It's not like
that. I was framed. Yes, it's true. I may have been blamed for eating
that little girl but I didn't let it ruin my life. I run a
rehabilitation clinic over on 12th street. Yeah, that's the one. I take
care of the characters you blame for all of your problems. Yeah, that's
right. Not all of them are so bad, you see. I help them get back on
their feet. How do I know how they are? I've been there, ya know.
I'm here to help these guys. Now, some of them are guilty. They are
stuck in the big house. Not all of them are, though. Some of their
reputations have been ruined and now I am teaching them how to deal
with it. Sure, some of them may have made a few mistakes, but some of
them are completely innocent! Oh, you're interested now, are ya? I
could get you in to see some of the guys. But first, you should hear my
story about how I got into the biz. Alright, fine, I'll tell you later.
You are more interested in in Cinderella's evil stepsisters, right?
Who else is in my clinic? Oh, all of the ones you labeled "bad guys."
They are in and out. Some of them come to live here because they are
recovering and sometimes the prison will send them over to see if I can
straighten them out. Yeah, you know who these characters are. It's the
"classic stories," right. The poor evil guys that you teach everyone to
hate. Well, every time you tell a child Little Red Riding Hood or
Cinderella, it just makes us look bad! You aren't even telling them the
truth. Is that what you want to do to your precious little children,
lie? Have you ever thought that maybe the story was just a rumor? Or
that the "bad guy" was being framed?
Okay, look. I like you. You seem interested. That's good. That's really
good. I want you to know the truth. I'm here to stick up for these
guys. So, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna let you in my
clinic and see what's really going on here. I'll even let you sit down
and chat with a couple of them. You can get the story straight from
them! So, come on in.
