Fairy tales

I tried to tell Gaia a fairy tale another day while putting her to sleep. It seemed the easiest thing on Earth, everybody knows the story of the Little Red Riding Hood, don't you? However, I did have some problems. I remembered only a girl with a red hooded cape, a wolf, a grandmother, a hunter and a famous "Grandma, what big eyes you have!". The rest, I had to make up myself. And what about Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty? We realised we should come back to our childhoods and read again all the fairy tales to prepare well! Having said that, we went to a bookshop and chose some fiabe for a good start. So far, the interest in a Cappuccetto Rosso's story was anyway, let's say, moderate. 


I was actually excited that there will be so many stories to read and tell!
