I have been taken to fairy tale site
He really should have taken one of the first two, because Big billy goat Gruff does not play around.
The originals of alot of the famous children books are actually gruesome as hell.
Like how in the original Cinderella, the step sisters take to carving at their feet with knives to make their feet fit in the glass shoe.
Alot more blood and gore back then. =)

That was what the big billy goat said. And then he flew at the troll, and poked his eyes out with his horns, and crushed him to bits, body and bones, and tossed him out into the cascade, and after that he went up to the hillside. There the billy goats got so fat they were scarcely able to walk home again. And if the fat hasn't fallen off them, why, they're still fat; and so,
Well, come along! I've got two spears,
And I'll poke your eyeballs out at your ears;
I've got besides two curling-stones,
And I'll crush you to bits, body and bones.

Snip, snap, snout.
This tale's told out.
Edit: This is from original Cinderella

The two sisters were happy to hear this, for they had pretty feet. With her mother standing by, the older one took the shoe into her bedroom to try it on. She could not get her big toe into it, for the shoe was too small for her. Then her mother gave her a knife and said, "Cut off your toe. When you are queen you will no longer have to go on foot."
The girl cut off her toe, forced her foot into the shoe, swallowed the pain, and went out to the prince. He took her on his horse as his bride and rode away with her. However, they had to ride past the grave, and there, on the hazel tree, sat the two pigeons, crying out:

While we are on the subject I will unashamedly pick everyones brains and attempt to hijack the thread for personal gain.
My Mum read a book to me called The Little Owl. This was around 1980 and its the only book I remember and one of my earliest memories. Cannot find it anywhere. Dont suppose anyone knows it do they?
@bebo67 whats the childrens book you published called?

Ahhh a young puffin book! Glad you found it.Your not going to believe it but just did a quick search for it under 80's books on google and found it! Ive been searching all these years for the wrong title. Google is so random and i cant believe it but it came up on page 1 and its instantly recognisable and it seems i threw a curveball. Just read a bit of the story and the Owl was called Plop. Im so excited. Its this one!

And I was afraid of the dark.....If i was a lesser man there would be a tear rolling down touching the smile on my face
Yes because it's either or. Trust me when I say with a 100% certainty, I do not have a gambling problem. I'm a pretty straight up person, and don't hide jack from anyone. It annoys me to know end when people assume I deposit a certain amount each month. Some more , some less. Last month was brutal, so there were just a couple of dinky deposits. Small enough that I had no cash back. Did I go into a panic? Sell all my belongings? Pimped myself out? Chop off my arm and sell it? Sold my ovaries?well if you lost 30k before leaving then you either rich or have a gambling problem. I deposit about 50$ a week and iam a lowroller have no problem at all keeping 2500xp to play freebies. truth is 4hrs is enough for me in battles the weekend battles no way I play same game all weekend my goal is to fill board and when no money use them . when I get on a roll 2 withdraw last fri for 600$ woohoo. sure I lose but when you withdraw ya baby that's what I talkin about. don let them jack you up crack you up.anyone guess that tune. lol.
