Grendel the troll was worried. The family fortunes had been in decline during
the past decade.
Contrary to popular fairy tales earning revenue from bridges
was not easy. The bridge had higher revenue
collected in the 2015-16 fiscal year than the previous year. Yet it had not climbed to the breakeven point
against the bridge's borrowing and other operating costs.
The loss of his trusted collector, Dunker, stomped and gored
by Billy Goat Gruff rankled. What he
needed to do was to diversify. The
scheme for supplying premium pork range was good. Could he really trust the Big Bad Wolf?
My original entry for this story was a little more somber, read it here
If you did wonder about the title, here is an explanation.
Dear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteYou do have a knack for taking a fairy tale and spinning it on its ear. This one made me laugh out loud.
Shalom,

The trolls had a business to look after and Big Bad Wolf was just a misunderstood business wolf. Thanks for your comments Rochelle I am glad you liked it.
DeleteThis is too funny. Poor fairytale creatures need to make a buck, too.
ReplyDeleteThere is a market in there for pumpkin suppliers too. Thanks for reading Gabriele, I am glad you liked it.
DeleteHilarious, Subroto. I don't know as I'd trust the wolf. He's liable to eat up all the profits. Good writing. :D --- Suzanne
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Suzanne. I think the Big Bad Wolf is a misunderstood business-wolf. One day he might even run for President.
