The little girl and the wolf: In this satire, thurber had most of the story just like the original story. At the end he surprised me by having the little girl know automatically that it was not her grandma, and that it was the wolf. She took matters into her own hands and shot the wolf, and in the original tale she didn't do that. This satire was more realistic because if a wolf was disguising as a grandma, you would know right away that it wasn't a human.
The Bear: The bear was an alcoholic and his ways were very distructive and his family did not appreciate what he had been doing. Since he realized that his family was not happy, he changed his ways completely, but in the same sense he was being disruptive to the family and they were still unhappy. So sometimes if you are trying to change yourself, don't change too much or else you will be causing the same disturbance as before.
The birds and the foxes: This satire was hard to understand because I didn't know which story he was trying to compare it to. What I got from this was that the foxes did not like the orioles and so they wanted to get rid of them by destroying their living area.
