The fairy tale about jack and the beanstalk has always bothered Me

One giant living up in the clouds

minding his own business

along comes jack

annoys the innocent giant

giant becomes rightfully angry

chases jack down the beanstalk

jack cuts down beanstalk

killing innocent giant

jack has pinched all his gold

and killed him

but jack is the HERO !!!!!!

Theft and murder

but jack is the good guy

how unjust

" Wee Willie Winkie runs through the Town ,
Upstairs ,Downstairs in his Nightie Gown,
Peeping through the windows,
peering through the locks,
Are all the children in their beds , its past nine oclock "
Arrest him !!!

These rhymes never bothered me as a child in the 50's but greatly disturbed my kids in the 70's ,especially wee willy winkie --my youngest (now a paramedic) wouldn't sleep for fear of him looking through the door !

Little Miss Muffett sat on her tuffett
eating her curds and whey,
there came a big spider who sat down beside her
So she bashed it up with her spoon and ate it.
