Makaze Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 What is your favorite fairy tale or fable? The Judgment of Paris is a source of infinite amusement to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Requesting the same thing I've been requesting for about three days now I can't really decide on a favourite - ahhh, I guess on a whim the Hare and the Tortoise due to having an extremely important moral.

Loki Laufeyson Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The Ugly Barnacle. Clearly the most important fable of all time. Much wisdom gained from such a story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 If mythology counts then Thyrmskvitha Because thor beating up frost giants in a dress is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 If mythology counts then Thyrmskvitha Because thor beating up frost giants in a dress is great Oh yes. So much yes. That one is one of my favorites too. Heimdall being the one to give Thor and Loki that idea just...oh it slays me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 If you can't win through merit, cheat? were you reading a different version in which the tortoise gets his mafia contacts to break the hare's legs midway through the race because man if so then link that shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyFireMage Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 were you reading a different version in which the tortoise gets his mafia contacts to break the hare's legs midway through the race because man if so then link that shit The version I read involved the tortoise placing his identical family members around the track so he could trick everyone into thinking he was faster than he was.

Parrhesia Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 huh I like that idea but that wasn't the version I know The version I know is thus; There was this hare and there was this tortoise, and the hare bet the tortoise like a million bucks he could win a footrace. The tortoise accepted. The hare was fuckin' fast, yeah, and the tortoise was a tortoise. But the hare was a dozy cunt and fuckin' fell asleep. He slept for a fuckin' long time during which the tortoise overtook him and won. The moral is fuck arrogance and diligence owns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freohr Datia Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Beautiful Best version~ It just brings tears to my eyes Edited March 13, 2014 by Freohr Datia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euklyd Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 The version I read involved the tortoise placing his identical family members around the track so he could trick everyone into thinking he was faster than he was. Hahahahahaha This is the Looney Tunes version, starring Bugs Bunny and the wily tortoise. I've watched it; my family owns it. It's not exactly a faithful adaptation Also I had the interactive book version of the Tortoise and the Hare (by Living Books) when I was young and it was the best thing ever.

Parrhesia Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) I'd like to change my favourite fairy tale to Bradford City beating Notts County, Watford, Burton, Wigan, Arsenal and Villa on the way from the First Round to the League Cup final. They were a League Two (fourth tier, aka 'not even A-League quality') team at the time. (swansea beat them 5-0 in the final but still) Edited March 13, 2014 by Parrhesia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousSpeed Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I happened to like the Chinese story of the boy who have away all his things to those less fortunate, went to get some wishes he wan entitled to, but ended up using them all for others. However, on his way home all the people he made wishes for have him magnificent rewards. I don't remember the name, but I quite like that story.
