You know, it occurred to this evening-
Why the heck is there a reference to a tiger in a western European fairy tale?! The other animals make sense- both wolves and roe deer are native to the areas from which the story Brother and Sister (or Sister and Brother, as I've dubbed my version) sprang. But tigers? Dude, what the hell? I'd grant you lions, maybe, but not tigers. Why not a bear? I really think being turned into a bear would make more sense. Maybe I'll change that in my version... I do like for things to have consistent internal logic.
This entry is short, but I'm sure you'll forgive me when I explain that Nathan just got home.
Gotta' go.
