Title : House of Tales

The Juniper Tree
My mother, she killed me.My father, he ate me.My sister, Marlene, she made sure to seemy bones were all gathered together,bound nicely in silk, as neat as can be,and laid beneath the juniper tree.Tweet, tweet! What a lovely bird I am!


Hansel and Gretel
Oh sweetie girl,It is time to cook a big stew.Girl you prepare it and boy I will eat you.What a delicious stew!
Hyw Witch! I will push and bake you when the oven was so hot and red.What a delicious witch cookie!


Where The Wild Things Are
Bad boy, fled my town, hungry.A minor king in another land,By slight of hand.Rumpsed with the wild things,In my bed, In my head,Home to really sleep for food mom brings. Now to rumpus with the monsters in my hed,I do not travel far day and night.Because the kindest one sleeps in my bed,He's mostly tame, and we're well fed.


The Little Prince
Does my drawing scare you?
Why be scared of a hat?
My drawing is not a picture of a hat.It is a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant.Grownups always need explanations.
