Tell me why you liked them.  Were they similar to other stories you've heard? Did Thurber surprise you in any way? How does he use satire (mocking or making fun of something else) in the story?

the little girl and the wolf
I liked this story because it made the girl sound a lot smarter than the original.  He surprised me when the girl pulled out a gun because its so different from the first.  He mocks the story by stating the moral that girls can't be fooled as easily. 

The bear
This story was not like any story I have ever heard so I enjoyed it.  Thurber surprised me by basically saying its fine to drink cause you're going to look stupid anyways.

The Fox and the Crow
I had heard a story like this before but never really understood the moral.  I like this story because Thurber surprised me by making not about the sneakiest animal but who was arrogant .  I believe that's how he made fun of the original
