That story is that of a princess locked in a castle, guarded by a dragon. She’s under a spell that only true love’s first kiss can break (to break a spell = rompre un sortilège). Then Shrek, an ugly, green ogre, tears (to tear = déchirer) (tear-tore-torn) a page from the old book. The ogre here is the main protagonist and not the villain. That’s a reversal, a twist.

 The little girl and the Wolf by James Thurber is a short parody of the traditional tale Little Red Riding Hood. The story tells a Wolf waits in a forest for a girl carrying food to her grandmother like the original. The sitting and events at first are quite similar but unlike in the original tale, the girl recognized the Wolf and takes an automatic out of her basket and shoots the wolf. There is a difference between the tale of the 20th century with Grimm and Perrault who stressed obedience and danger. Thurber humorously highlights the Independence and cleavers of modern girls.
