Re writing Fairy tales to enhance the child’s creativity
Christine Dcruz , mumbai: May 16 2008

“All that’s black is beautiful” Young girls hardly in their teens have the misconception that all that’s fair is beautiful. We grow up with this myth strong in our head. Have you realized where this comes from ? Why do Indian consumer mind, all potential grooms mother prefer the white angel? You need not stress on your hemispheres the answer lies in the very dear fairytales; that have to be rewritten in way that will enhance the child’s creativity and make him thinking in a broader dimension.

Am going to undertake an example of “Snow white” Rewriting it in a way from the Asian perspective. The pretty dusky, dark damsel is no more at the blunt of not receiving any appraisals. Salute to all the 3rd world RACE. WE no more the other

Once upon a time in a village lived a middle class family. The were very nice people and the whole village admired the couple. The wife was really very pretty and the husband really loved his wife a lot. They both worked hard for their living, the wife was a teacher in the village school and the husband was working in an office. They were a happy family but one thing they were lacking and that was a child. They longed for a child and prayed to God.

It was almost 5 years of their marriage and they didn’t have a child. The husband would console his wife and tell her that don’t worry: God knows the future and he will always be merciful to those who are faithful to him and obey him. He would tell her never stop doing good and keep trusting God. The husband was a strong believer in God and he always spend time explaining to his wife that God has his time, He told her now we are not well to do and if we have a child we would be able to give the child the best.

Days past and months the husband and wife both started doing well in their careers. They shifted to a big mansion and they also had a child. She was a beautiful girl with lovely dusky colour. The parents named her beauty. It was not a common name but they felt she was God’s beautiful gift to them, so they named her beauty.

Beauty grew up to be a talented, lovely obedient girl. She loved to wander around the garden and admire nature. Her mother would often tell her beauty don’t wander alone any where as anyone can harm you. Close to the mansion they had a stream and beauty would often go there to do her Home work. She loved to be alone, so that she could collect her thoughts. She was a dreamer and had a lot of hobbies like collecting stamps and writing poetry. She wanted to become someone great.

Beauty grew up and indeed she become famous and well know all over the country..

Can u tell me what did she become ?? Keep thinking
