Answer 1

Actually, a lot of them have a political and social connotation.

Little Red Riding Hood is more about the sexual awakening of a young girl - hence the red cape, some men are like 'wolves' and prey on innocence etc.

Answer 2

WORTH 2 POINTS

Answer 3

Most nursery rhymes are thinly disguised political slogans.  Humpty Dumpty was a field gun used in the Napoleonic wars (Britain's ultimate weapon until some idiot mounted it on a wall and broke it).  Jack and Jill were Louis XVII and Marie Antoinette who tumbled down from the guillotine.  Now write one about Baa baa Brown sheep.

Fairy stories about wolves eating pigs and little girls were designed to warn children about the behaviour of predatory individuals.  You'll notice that being eaten by someone in a bed features quite regularly.

These days, we don't have insane rubbish.  Our children watch Eastenders and BB.

Answer 4

Most nursery rhymes have a meaning behind them.

Answer 5

Two children being abandoned at a far away place just because their stupid lustful parents who only knew how to F*** and making children but don't know how to raise but throwing them and juz because they cant afford their needs...?! WTF?!!

Bottom line is, If u know u cant afford and take good care of children, dun make them! And parents dun let the kids to listen all this **** if u dun want them growing up and throwing their childrens or you the other way round.. And KIDS, pliz dun listen to all these Bullshit!

Yeah?? Even if its political, wat does dat got to do with the kids?? They're too young to understand anyway... telling them a converted version of wars into humty dumpty? Making house of candy just to make your house full of creatures, seeing old woman dat might look like a witch thinking they're bad people and going around kissing frogs assuming they would turn into a handsome prince to marry them...? I mean, They cant think globally can they?

Answer 6

another one, where a spider frightens a little girl away.

little miss muffet...

sat on a tuffet...

Answer 7

It's a simplified way of passing messages onto kids.The big bad wolf story teaches them not to talk to strangers... The three little pigs teaches them the value of hard work...

Then again i think humpty dumpy is a complete load of nonsense lol. Wtf. A giant egg on a wall!?!?

Answer 8

Well what about Mary Mary quite contrary!

That is really about bloody Mary:

How does your garden grow? - This is refering to the graveyards which were growing in size due to the amount of people being killed.

With silver bells and cockle shells - This is about instruments of torture: silver bells were used to crush the thumb and cockle shells were attatched to the genitals.

With prettey maids all in a row - The maids were actually guillotines, obviously used to behead people.

This nursery rhyme isn't sounding so lovely and innocent now is it?

Answer 9

How about hansel and gretel? Two kids kicked out of house by their step mom and nearly get eaten by a witch? (A house of candy...That's pure evil, atleast for their teeth)
