There are some tales, supposedly written for the benefit of children that are really for the attention of adult world. Red Riding Hood, a tale of heroism perhaps in the hands of a small child or really the precautionary story and veiled warning to a woman not to let any old wolf take her virtue. Whatever the fairy-tale, whatever its meaning, the chance for children to be told instructive tales by adults somehow slows down the learning of the moral in the story and makes adults forget the unseen world in which children’s fears are played out.
