The Tales of Beedle the Bard


HELP ! ! !

I have been frantically searching for my copy of The Tales if Beedle the Bard and can’t seem to locate it anywhere! I need a direct quote from it for something I‘m working on, plus I want to have someone read to the kids from it at the Christmas party. Those of you who have a copy, please post it here in the story thread. It may need to be hand transcribed as these silly Muggle devices don’t seem to accept magical-world downloads very well.

If you only know part of it, say, the story of Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump, or The Fountain of Fair Fortune, or The Wizard and the Hopping Pot, feel free to share whatever part you do know.

Please include the artwork, too/instead, if you can.

I promise to shower the best with accolades, amazing prizes, gratitude, and maybe even chocolate!


Thanks!


Oh yeah, I need it by the middle of September, say the fifteenth, if you can find your copy.


Thanks again!

So, if I'm understanding the prompt correctly, we've been hoodwinked into writing the Wizarding equiv. of Dr. Seuse? Sounds like fun... *puts on devious cap*

Maybe more like Aesop's Fables or Mother Goose, but yes, that's the general drift. yes.gif


Kid stories... Magical-kid stories... morality tales... (you know, bright cheery stories about the Black Plague and the corruption in the Royal Court, er, kid stories, er, Brer Rabbit, The Fox and the Grapes, er, you know.)

*^*v*fanfare of trumpets*v*^*

The "Official" challenge is over, and the Mighty Zym takes home the most wonderful - er - um - yeah - um - scratches head - PRIZE!

(psst - hey, Zym - - - what sounds like something you can't live without that doesn't cost more than a kneazle? Potions ingredients? Slytherin's Locket? Any book from the Restricted Section, of your choosing? You're more aware of what you need, what sounds good?)


Now the gates are opend wide! Anyone who is inspired is welcome to post their Tale from Beedle the Bard! (at least until the middle of October, that is.....)

Stoats, you guys!
What's the matter with you? You're making it WAY too easy on me, here!
*scratches head* Does this even count as winning? blush2.gif
