Storytelling Week 6

Crazy Dad and His Daughters

Once upon a time in England, there was a man who had seven daughters who lived with his wife in a small cottage in the English countryside. This man's name was Bond, George Bond. You may have heard of his brother, the world famous spy and playboy. George was like his brother in many ways, license to kill, fluent in eleven languages, advanced knowledge of computers and awesome gadgetry. However, they had their differences, George was a one woman kind of man and had become quite the family man with his seven lovely daughters. Having to raise that many daughters came with a skill set and challenges all of their own.

George was very very very protective of his precious children, but he knew that he could not always be there to protect them. As all of the girls grew up, he taught them survival skills in all settings: desert, forest, urban, tundra, flood, and at sea. He also coached them all in fencing, riflery, and the bow. When they were about 10 or 12, he would take them two at a time to go camping, fishing, and hunting in the forest near their grandmother's house. When it was the youngest couples turn to go, they were very excited and were bragging to their sisters about how they were going to kill the big bad wolf! Their older sisters just laughed and wished them good luck.

Cave entrance. Info for this picture.

On the first night of the camping trip, the girls heard a wolf howling at the moon. These were two particularly brave little girls, and armed with a bow and a rifle each, they came out of the tent and quietly jetted toward the howls of the wolf. George, being quite tired from a week of killing key leaders of ISIS, did not wake when his daughters left the tent.

As the young girls approached the wolf, it scattered away. They quickly ran after it and saw that it went into a small opening in the side of a cliff. Being courageous and determined to capture the big bad wolf, they each loaded an arrow and creeped in. The wolf could smell the young girls and got the higher ground. Soon, the girls entered the cave and the wolf pounced down on them from the top of the ceiling. The girls' training kicked in and simultaneously they rolled to the sides and shot off their arrows! Each girls' arrows went straight into both of the wolf's eyes, instantly killing him.

In the morning, George felt a mix of anger, worry, and pride for his youngest daughters. He helped them skin the big bad wolf and take it home for their older sisters to see. The whole family was impressed by the biggest, meanest looking wolf fur they had ever seen.

Author's Note: The original was a horrible story about a father who left his daughters in the woods alone to be eaten by wolves because they ate his eggs for breakfast. So, I thought I would make a better story about a good dad. The original also had them killing a wolf, but it was because they just got lucky. Also, I just really like international spies.
