curiosity killed the cat
Eating apples from a stranger
what about stranger danger

Night means darkness
and in the darkness you cant see
and what you cant see you do not know
and what you do not know is scary

So if curiosity killed the cat
and the unknown is scary
why did silly alice
fall down the rabbit hole?

Taking candy from a stranger
Is something we know not to do
we dont know whats in the candy
what about stranger danger?

So if she knew about stranger danger
and that curiosity killed the cat
why did silly snow white
eat the strangers apple?

LOL.. I tend to agree with you here.. I've always wondered with the nursery rhyme, "Jack and Jill" (something that had such a sing-song melody and was written for children) why was such a gruesome picture painted.. Why couldn't it have ended..

Jack came down without a frown
And Jill came running after?

instead of
Jack fell down and broke his crown
and Jill came tumbling after!

Just my two cents worth... Thanks for sharing this thought provoking write
