oh yes, I always loved any dark twist of the grimm fairy tales (even thought the originals are pretty brutal) 👹Beautiful rendition dear @yidneth! - the girl has a little bit of you in her.

I've always thought the the story was based on scaring young girls from venturing into the forest where bandits can snatch them, and molest them... I think the wolves were a way for the folk to go 'PG' on the real event that could have happened is some small town... "evil wolf" sound better and more dangerous that "shady stranger"... 😱
