The magic word here is "paying," like the mortgage, the electric bill, the gas bill, the car payment...But I also agree that it must convey *my* message (or, in this case, the folktale's message with which I agree) or what's the point. And besides, just like with Punch and Judy, why should we let the tyranny of a few unenlightened people of this decade warp, twist and destroy part of our century old heritage?

The kids can handle it. It's the parents who don't trust in their abilities, their resilience. Look at Bambi's Mom. Look at the witch falling off the cliff in Snow White. Why is this any different? You're right. The kids can handle it, and in fact, generally prefer to see that actions have consequences. The bad get punished. *But* the adults are the ones paying for the show, so I think one does have to consider what will keep *them* happy.
