Fairy Tales, Jewish Flavour Gila Atwood

Everybody loves a story especially a classic fairy story with a happy ending. Allow me to introduce you to several pieces I wrote years ago - I had a great deal of fun writing them and found I enjoy rereading them. I made an amazing discovery! I found it lifts my mood to read something I wrote with a smile on my face - in fact, this is a really good way to lift oneself out of a funk. Whenever you're in a good mood, write something and save it! Later when you're in a trough, go back and read it over, out loud if you're not too shy, and allow yourself to be taken back to the state of mind you were enjoying back then. These little works have been gathering virtual dust on the shelf, so to speak. It's time I shook out the dust, made a few adjustments for the general reader and offer them to you.. I hope you enjoy them! Yes, they're full of Jewish words and I don't want to do a total rewrite, neither do I want to have you refer to a glossary .. who wants to keep flipping back and forth? This is the reason, I am sure, many did not complete Burgess's ''A Clockwork Orange'' (I did, but I'm stubborn) However I don't want to inflict that on you.. instead.. I shall attempt to explain myself as I go along and I really hope the non Jewish reader will be able to enjoy this too.
