Our impulses often carry us away and we act before we can think. It’s the same with beings in fairy tales. They see something and they lunge at it before the situation is thought through. That’s the subject of today’s stories. First, we’ll dig into “The Pompous Lion,” a Chinese lesson. Then, we’ll venture about a Brothers Grimm story called “Clever Grethel,” a quick tale of a cook getting out of a sticky situation. Enjoy the ride, Grimmlings!
