Cutting the Knot: In "The Princess and the Bowling Ball", every princess who stays at the king's and queen's castle fails the pea test since they can't feel the pea under the hundred mattresses. When the prince meets the girl of his dreams, he solves the problem by replacing the pea with a bowling ball. His parents are satisfied and they get married, and they live happily, if not honestly, ever after.Now I guess I can to a certain extent appreciate the parodistic intent of Jon Scieszka's The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales. However and that having all been said, Scieszka's retold narratives do not really work at all well for me as satires (as parodies), and primarily due to the fact there are simply far far too many tales presented. For honestly, as soon as the plot lines of the given stories of The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales seem to become somewhat interesting and entertaining to and for me, there generally is an abrupt and rushed ending inserted by the author, and another, similarly choppy and equally annoyingly uneven tale commences (which sure does lead to potential distraction and for me, as well as massive tedium and frustration, and indeed so much so that I only very briefly and cursively skimmed the last three stories, and with scant regret). Gwen: (Exasperated): Because it was a real story that people already made... Not real like it was a true story... but aaaahhhhh... This is hard to explain. The stories were already told before, and the author changed it a little, and made it like them, but funnier. ...And sillier. ...And goofier...
