Another kind of Prince…

17 04 2008

 

Once upon a time, a sweet chocolate colored girl named Cindarella who was left with a tall and stubborn stepmother and two horrible stepsisters after the death of her nice father. The young woman, who came from Africa, became a discreet and kind young woman in England, but her stepmother treated her like a servant and made her do all the housework because of the contempt she had for her velvet brown skin.

But one day, a famous popstar called The Prince organized a picnic and invited all the pretty ladies of Britain. Cindarella wanted to go but her stepmother and sisters ordered her to make a huge cake for the picnic, and more than that, she had to clean the entire house before the picnic. Also, people with dark skin were supposed to stay at home and work. Cindarella managed to do everything thanks to her friends, the mice who also lived in the house. But she couldn’t go to The Prince’s rendez-vous’, and started crying when her stepsisters left home to go there. At the first tear, her fairy godmother appeared, and turned an aubergine into a shiny black Harley Davidson and Cindarella’s black skin became white thanks to one or two bags of flour…

Pretty as a princess, Cindarella went to the picnic and was admired for her beauty. She spent the sunny afternoon chatting with The Prince about Africa and the humanitarian project he was part of there. But after a moment, the wind started to blow the flour on her face off, and she had to leave in a hurry, forgetting a glove.

Thanks to this, The Prince looked for this unknown pretty woman, and finally found Cindarella, who was wearing the other glove. The stepsisters were very jealous, but couldn’t do anything. From then, they lived happily ever after, talking about Africa again and again.

The illustration above comes from an American website called BlackNews.com promoting fairy tales with black heroes. Here is an extract from their statement:

Washington, DC (BlackNews.com) - The Princess Briana book tour represents the first Black princess on the same level as Snow White and Cinderella. According to research done by clinical psychologists, Black children that do not see images of themselves consistently in fairytales and storybooks tend to have lower self-esteem and a poorer self-image.

The Princess Briana fairytale has had tremendous success with raising the self-esteem of Black children. Parents and teachers rave with excitement about the Princess Briana fairytale inspiring their children to read and feel better about themselves (see customer quotes at www.justlikemebooks.com/PrincessBrianareviews.htm)

 Let’s wish them good luck for their project!

 



Goldlocks - revised!

17 04 2008

GoldylocksAt the end of an afternoon, a young girl, with long goldy locks was walking through the woods when suddenly the night fell down. She was trying to find her way back, but she couldn’t.

Then, she saw a dilapidated cottage. All the windows were broken and the garden looked like a battlefield The front door was wide open.
So, the young girl went into the house, which was in a terrible mess: everything was dirty, there were broken chairs around a kind of table. Stinking mugs were all over the flor.

In the bedroom she saw cobwebs everywhere, and a black spider was crawling on the biggest of the three beds. The young girl was starving and so tired, but she went back to the kitchen and decided to do the washing up before trying to find something to eat. Then she cooked some soup. She climbed up the stairs, went into the bedroom and ran the vacuum cleaner over the carpets and made the smaller bed before going to sleep.

A few hours later, the bear family came back from binge drinking in a pub. As they came inside the house, they couldn’t recognize the house and when they saw the beautiful little girl lying on the bed they thought this house was not theirs and they decided to leave.



Sleeping “Beauty”

11 04 2008

nce upon a time, in a far away castle, a queen gave birth to a child that she named Aurore. For the christening, the king called upon the fairies of the Kingdom for them to become the godmother’s child, but he forgot to invite one of them… As the fairies were making wishes for the baby, the evil witch who hadn’t been invited appeared and cast a spell on the child, saying that on the sixteenth birthday the teenager’s thumb would be pricked on a spindle and die. However, the fairies managed to spare the child’s life by wishing that instead of dying, Aurore would fall asleep for a hundred years and could only be woken up by a prince’s kiss. (Everybody knows this story!)

The years went by and the day came.

A century later, a prince came, on his wheeled horse, and taking a look at his GPS, he said “SOS Prince Charming, here I am !” He finally arrived at the castle, climbed up the stairs and entered Aurore’s room. He came closer to the bed and in his eagerness, he didn’t even have a look at the Princess before kissing Aurore’s lips… And so, Aurore slowly awoke and opened the eyes.

Finally taking a look at the person lying on the bed, he thought : “What beautiful golden hair ! What beautiful blue eyes ! And what… What a beautiful sparkling beard!”

- Oh, my… ! The prince murmured , astounded. - Hello, Aurore said , a bright smile on his lips. After a few moment, the prince understood that Aurore, Princess Aurore was a boy… But carefully looking at him, he also understood that it didn’t matter. In the end, the prince and Aurore lived happily ever after, and adopted lots of children !

Snow-White, not as white as she seems to be…

5 04 2008

This tale takes place in London, nowadays.

Snow-white had hair as black as ebony, lips as red as blood, and such a skin… Well, you know the rest of it. Unfortunately, a little time after Snow-White’s birth, her mother died and her father married a model as nasty and selfish, as Snow-white was beautiful.

Obsessed by her beauty, she asked her digital mirror each evening, “Mirror, my beautiful mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in London?” And the electronic voice of the mirror always answered: “You are, Madam.”

But one day, the mirror dared answer that the most beautiful woman in the city was Snow-White. Indeed, the girl had grown and had become a thousand times more beautiful than her stepmother. Mad with anger, the horrible woman hired a killer to eliminate Snow-White. He accepted but found no courage to kill such a beautiful girl. So, he let her in Hide Park.

Snow-White was lost, and at last, found a charming small thatched cottage. She was so tired that she decided to knock at the door, and there she met seven dwarves who were actually agents. They belonged to a modelling agency and asked Snow-White to work for them. The young woman accepted.

Unfortunately, one day she was alone in the dwarves’ house when a woman who was in fact her disguised stepmother, knocked at the door and offered Snow-White a bag coming from “APPLE-BURGER”. The greedy young woman couldn’t help it and opened the bag!

Fortunately, before she made anything irrevocable, the seven dwarves ran in and prevented her from ruining her diet. The stepmother, green with envy, devoured the apple-burger and sank into junk food.
Snow-white and her seven agents lived happily ever after!



The Three Little Cook Pigs

3 04 2008

Once upon a time, there were three little pigs and their mother. It was Mother’s Day, so the three little pigs decided to make a cake when the mother left. So she left. The pigs didn’t agree on the same cake so each of them decided to make his own cake.

The first pig, who was lazy, bought a “cooking ready” pastry mixture and put it in the oven. The second did all the recipe and put his mixture into another oven. ‘You are so fool, your cakes are not original, I will make the best and the most beautiful cake!’ So, he took many bricks, piled them up and started to sculpt them.

In the evening, the mother came back and the two “normal” cakes were ready but the third pig, who was hard-working, had not finished yet. He was so sorry, his cake would not be ready on time. The mother excused him and they ate the two cakes together.

Moral: That is not because we do something in bricks that it is always useful.
