Babes in the Wood
90Living historically.
Told so a child would not wander, and would not trust the stranger.
The review
The babes are left under a tree by a man who was paid to kill them and cannot. They die anyway. Robins cover them with leaves. It is a harsh thing to tell a child, and that harshness is why it was told.
The score is for a warning that does not pretend the world is safe. It is lower because the children are given no way out, only a grave.

The glance
Industry is the thin one.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
The eight
- 9Industry
No work. The children are abandoned. That is the plot.
- 9Household
An uncle's broken trust is the horror. A house that fails is not shrugged off.
- 9Piety
In the old telling, the birds cover the bodies. Mercy arrives too late to save them.
- 9Courage
The children endure. They do not get a victory.
- 9Republic
A family crime, not a town.
- 9Temperance
Greed is the uncle's motive, and it is not rewarded.
- 9Truth
Abandonment has a bill. The story does not wink.
- 9Stewardship
Told at night to keep a child in the yard. Fear is the teacher.
