Look you, Gammer, of the giant and the king's daughter, and I know not what. I have seen the day when I was a little one, you might have drawn me a mile after you with such a discourse. Once upon a time, there was a king, a lord or a duke that had a fair daughter, the fairest that ever was, as white as snow and as red as blood, and once upon a time his daughter was stolen away, and he sent all his men to seek out his daughter, and he sent so long that he sent all his men out of the land.

Most of women's poetry and story-telling has been swallowed up in the maw of time. Because the authors of old wives' tales tales were not literate, because the tales were variants of traditional themes, because the people who told them were women and the people who heard them were children, they were phenomena of no account. From the earliest times, such narratives have been treated with contempt. Educated people were only too happy to forget them, and to embrace the culture associated with the elite. If the old tales were ever remembered by the masculine elite, they were parodied as rustic and absurd. There are a very few exceptions. One of them is George Peele, a university man, who translated Euripides and could turn his hand to almost any kind of writing. Macbeth– The witches prophesied that Macbeth would never be defeated until the Birnam Wood came towards his castle. Malcolm (the rightful heir to the throne stolen by Macbeth), commands his forces to use branches to disguise their approach. The ‘grandma’ is King Duncan and those creeping up on him represent the assassin Macbeth. If you prefer, two ‘sleeping guards’ can support Duncan and wake up if they hear any noise. If an individual or the group are caught it is as if Macbeth has decided not to go through with it, emphasising his uncertainty.

Spencer wants to play a game with the children about different noises in the night, but he doesn't know which noises to use. Who can help him out? The ur-tale as told by women is innocent of such embellishments. It offers no explanations of events and makes no attempt to moralise. The object is to amaze and appal, to stretch the limits of the child's imagination. The story often turns on preoccupations of women – impregnation, pregnancy, childbirth, childloss, rape and domestic violence – in various coded forms. In " La Mortella", we begin with a woman longing for a child, which turns into a variant of monstrous birth, and then into an inversion of the Cupid and Psyche theme, in which it is the female lover who comes unseen by night. The miscreants who enact the sparagmos of the heroine by tearing her into a hundred pieces are also female. The sheer preposterousness of the idea of a woman's giving birth to a sprig of myrtle is typical of the naive tale. If it is to enjoy the tale, the child must not balk at this initial impossibility. The mystic significance of the myrtle is irrelevant to the tale-teller and the tale, however important it may be for academics.

The nursery children are playing a hospital game and Miss Hoolie asks Archie to invent something to play with, something that doctors and nurses use.

Whoever manages to tap her on the shoulder becomes Grandma (male or female) and the game starts again. It’s a good activity for cultivating concentration and patience – not to mention lots of cheating! PC Plum has promised to take Miss Hoolie out for the day, but he has double-booked himself, as he has also promised to go on a fishing trip with Spencer on the same day.

When the Brothers Grimm collected the story from German sources, it had already been influenced by Perrault's literary version, which was the first to specify that the heroine's hood was red. Jeanette Hassenpflug is supposed to have told the tale of Little Red Riding Hood to the elder Grimm, and Marie Hassenpflug to the younger. For the first edition of their collection Kinder- und Hausmärchen (1812), the brothers used both versions, turning the second story into a sequel to the first and calling it Rotkäppchen. They revised the story several times, using supplementary material, some of it told them by Henriette Dorothea Wild, who married Wilhelm Grimm in 1825. By degrees the monstrous fantasy that underlies the core story was exorcised and it became a mere cautionary tale. The old wife did not need to point her moral; if she wished her hearers to judge the events she was describing in her story and come to specific conclusions, she had only to stress different elements in it. If she wanted children to think that the wolf got to her grandmother because Little Red Riding Hood was indiscreet, she had only to tell the story that way. If, on the other hand, she wanted to make them aware of wolves as a constant danger, she told the story in a different way again. Edie tries to buy a Spice Girls CD from Suzi and Penny's, but they're all sold out.
