Happy Sunday! Here's a short snippet of the great Christopher Hitchens for you.
A black-and-white cartoon features a library setting where anthropomorphic animals are gathered for storytime. A wolf stands at the front of the room holding a microphone and a book titled The Three Little Pigs. The wolf is animatedly pointing to the book, appearing defensive or indignant. In the audience, various animals such as sheep, pigs, a chicken, and a goat are seated on chairs, listening. The sheep in the front are taking notes, while a cloaked figure (resembling Little Red Riding Hood) sits in the background, observing. The caption reads: “I don’t want my kids reading books that make them feel bad about being big and bad.”
