That's why I posted it first. Was awake the whole night just for this reason. But no worries, you are maybe a better writer, you can write a superior story than me... ;)

Oh, and you can get inspiration from my article, but no plagiarizing!

"T'was the night before christmas" from Santa's view.

 

T'was the only night I work: December 31st.
And all through the world, not a believer was stirring, not even little Ralph.
I made a routine landing atop a house, exclaiming "Ho ho ho", my reindeer making little "clip clop, clip clop" sounds as they landed.
I grabbed my sack, stuffing my plump body down the chimney real quick.
For I am Old Saint Nick.

 

 

If you would please, send the crystals to "The-Operator" as this account is dead.

The Woes of Cinderella's Stepmother

From the perspective of the stepmother

 

 

At the ball, I was having a great time. The palace was splendid; looming crystal-and-gold chandeliers hung from the painted ceiling, and exquisite designs were carved into the polished oak walls. I was just about to help myself to a glass of tequila when – Cinderella strutted in, wearing a blue dress. She was wearing two tiny glass shoes that looked very painful to walk with. She had a ten-foot wide smile plastered onto her face. I was happy for her, I really was. The fairy godmother had probably gotten her into a new dress and sent her here. I watched as she and the prince danced in the middle of the room. Onlookers whispered enviously, and other girls stormed out, their hands scrunched into fists, looking as if they wanted to murder Cinderella. Suddenly, Cinderella gasped and ran away from the prince and the onlookers, turning her head only once to look at the clock. It was just midnight, two hours before the ball ended. She raced up the staircase and rushed outside. I thought I heard the whinny of a horse and then the squeak of a mouse, but I must've been a little buzzed from the booze.The prince was running after her, but it was too late. He picked up one of the tiny glass shoes that she'd dropped on the way out and headed back to the ballroom. I immediately rounded up my family and headed home, scared that something bad would happen to Cinderella. When I got home, however, I saw her scrubbing away at the floor with a sponge. She cocked her head and smiled at me. "Hello, mother. How was the ball?"she asked. That lying little girl! I decided to hold my tongue, though; she did do the chores well, even though I often heard her talking with the mice and birds (weird, huh?). A couple of days passed as usual, but then a messenger arrived at our house, shouting at the top of his lungs: "The Prince is looking for a maiden with who he danced with at the ball!" He burst into the room without invitation, looking tired. He was carrying a small purple-and-gold trim cushion in one hand, and on top of it was the fragile glass slipper. I called Cinderella to come down, for obvious reasons. But I had no reply. Behind the messenger came the Prince, wearing a neat white-yellow suit with shiny metallic knots and brown cotton pants. I was wondering what was taking her so long. The messenger was asking my daughters to sit down and slip their feet into the shoe, but of course it didn't fit. My patience as beginning to wear off when I heard a sharp cry: "Help me! My stepmother has locked me upstairs!" I froze in shock. The messenger turned around to stare at me, while the prince shouted, "You did WHAT?" In less then a minute, I was being forced upstairs. What the hell was going on? I'd never locked her into her room. When we got up, I was confused to see the key placed into the lock on Cinderella's door. I thought I'd left it in my pocket. Then I saw the pink tail of a furry mouse disappear around the corner, and I knew that cinderella had had some help from her stupid little animal friends… The prince opened the door, and Cinderella was inside, crying her head off.

The rest is too cliche and cheesy and annoying for me to tell. Here, let me try and simplify it: The prince married Cinderella. When I tried to tell the prince the truth, he just sent me away… to prison. Can you believe that? Cinderella became a princess. I've been staying in the dungeon for months now, choking on dry bread and drinking stale water, with only the constant plip-plopping of the dripping sewer to entertain me. So, if anybody ever says a word about the fake Cinderella story, then do me a favour.
Kill whoever it is with shaft, right when they're about to get the gold box.

Jack and the Beanstalk (from the giant's POV)

 

I’m sure you all have heard of the story “Jack and the Beanstalk” right? However, that was told by Jack, so naturally he made himself seem a hero in the story, and I don’t fault him for that. This is MY story:

I was a very kind and good giant; and you might say, “But you eat humans!” To which I’ll reply that humans are in essence, animals, to me. I mean, it’s natural for me to eat humans, just like it’s natural for YOU to eat animals. Then you might say that animals don’t have feelings but humans do. However, I assure you, animals do have feelings, just that you can’t understand them doesn’t mean they’re mindless.

So, one day I was planting my vegetable garden when I accidentally dropped a handful of beans (which grow into, of course, humongous beanstalks, giant-sized, I’d say) down from the clouds where my castle was. I thought it was nothing then, but I did not expect them to fall into the hands of an old man, who promptly swapped them for a cow (which I found out from reading the story).  

A few days later, when I jumped back into the clouds after a fruitful day of hunting, I noticed muddy footprints on the path leading to the gates of the castle. I thought it was weird, but I dismissed it for nothing, I mean, how could humans or any other thing get up here (obviously, I did not see the beanstalk). However, the moment I opened the door, I immediately smelt the odor of an Englishman. I shouted, “Fee Fi Fo Fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman, be he alive or be he dead, I’ll grind his bones to make my bread!”

My wife, looking extremely flustered, came out of the kitchen, and said, “Don’t be silly dear, that must just be the whole pig I’ve roasted.” I looked, and sure enough, there was a whole roast pig on the table. Dismissing the odor as nothing again (which was stupid of me), I settled down on the table and and I promptly wolfed it down.

After eating it, I contently reclined in my chair for a few moments before taking out my treasures: a huge bag of gold, a chicken that lays golden eggs, and a self-playing harp. I counted the gold first; I won’t deny it, I’m a “moneyface” - I treasure gold most of all, I love the way it sparkles in the light, and I like how it feels. After counting my gold (something that I did at least once every day), I put the gold back into the bag, and turned to the chicken. “Lay!” I boomed. The chicken complied and immediately laid a golden egg. The chicken was a wonder, it laid eggs of pure gold, can you imagine that? Absolutely amazing. However, it can only lay once a day, sadly. Then, I turned to the harp. “Play!” I said. The harp immediately started playing a sweet lullaby - I use this to get myself to sleep every day. Sure enough, I soon fell asleep.

After a while, I woke up to the sound of the harp screeching, and the sound was growing fainter! I turned to a window and looked outside. I saw a filthy boy clutching my chicken and harp, with the glint of gold showing from his bulging pockets! So, I chased (there’s no police, sadly) the thief. That thieving boy! I was utterly enraged when I read how he made himself seem like a hero for stealing my treasures. I mean, stealing is stealing. Even if I’m evil and bad (which I’m not), it still does not justify stealing!

So I chased him out, and climbed down the beanstalk right behind him. However, I found that the boy was too nimble and quick so lagged behind. I saw the boy dart into a house, and come back out with a shiny, glinting object (it was an axe). He hacked at the beanstalk, and he cut through it very quickly. Roaring, I fell from the beanstalk, and darkness surrounded me. Well, I soon woke up (you don’t expect me to die from such a short fall, right?), and I crushed Jack’s house in punishment for his thieving, and retrieved only one and a half of my treasure - it appears he sold my harp and spent half my gold. I went back to my castle, and lived happily ever after.

Saint George and the Dragon
 
from the POV of the dragon

 

 

    I really needed a new lair. A bunch of trolls had taken up residence outside my cave, ceaselessly arguing about trollish things. Also, their smell was horrible. So I packed my bags and set off to find a new home. After months of searching and posting ads in 'The Draconic Times' I finally found a place. It seemed perfect. Water nearby, animals to hunt, and no blasted knights. I hate knights. Anyways, I was all settled in with my treasure and going out to hunt when I met a princess in the woods. I must say I was quite impressed when she didn't run away screaming her head off, as humans tend to do (silly things). Instead, she asked me if I was well, and after talking for a bit she asked to come back to my cave and see my hoard (maybe royalty have more manners than knights). What dragon could refuse showing off their hoard? Well, maybe some dragons. Not me. I flew the princess to my cave, and I was soon so distracted showing her my treasure that I didn't notice the time! (also, dragons live so much longer than humans, your time seems like nothing to us)

    Now, the king overreacted (I mean come on, it was barely four hours) and there apparently just happened to be a one of those dratted knights passing through (actually, I still wonder about that). Long story short, the knight was a cheater (poisoned weapons? Really? That's just low) and I had to flee retreat Thankfully, the princess explained to the king what had really happened, and the king believed her instead of that pompous fool of a warrior. My treasure was returned (not without sighs), the knight was exiled in shame (without sighs), and I became the 'Royal Guardian' of the castle.

    It's great! I'm brought lots of food by adoring citizens, paid in gold by the king, and all in return for eating bandits and crushing the occasional invading army!

 

Translator's note: Some comments concerning knights have had draconic cursing replaced with more friendly language. The word flee was replaced with 'retreat' by Author's Demand Request. Additionally, in the sentence including the words 'four hours', the Translator attempted to convert draconic measurements of time into human measurements. The result may be incorrect by a margin of 3 to 4 days.

 Little Red Riding Hood        

 

 

I was sneaking through the forest tree by tree slowly closing in on the old lady's house. I slide open the window and leap into the kitchen. Gracefully land on my paws with no more than the sound of a dropping pin. She is a lonely widow with no friends or family. Stealthily I creep towards her door another coughing fit. I am doing this old lady a favor I tell myself I sneak through her door and leap onto the bed.I snap her neck and drag her outside and into the woods. To feast on her body.Then i hear a whistling sound i listen closely. Someone is singing. There is a girl in red ,It's little red riding hood! what should I do? I leap into the path and chase her down. And eat her. Then i go back to hide the old ladys body to save for later.

The End

The Little Red Riding Hood

 I was starving. That rabbit was to hard to catch. I went that way, and ran under that tree, but it was useless.I was a big, mean, bad wolf, who always tried to capture the little red riding hood, but her mother always warned her about me. Then I overheard her mom tell Little Red Riding Hood to go and give her grandma some biscuits. I create a plan that won't fail. I would tell Little Red Riding Hood to go and pick some flowers. This evil act will buy me time to go and trick the grandma to opening the door so I can eat her and pretend to be the grandma. Then I will wait for Little Red Riding Hood to come by, so I can eat her too... I ran off to the area full of nature and flowers. I waited behind the tall grass waiting for the perfect moment. She came by skipping to her little song that she sang. "Those beautiful flowers would be very nice for your grandma." I said. She stopped singing her song and she asked, "You are right indeed, but my mother has warned me about you, so why should I trust you?" 
"I won't eat you," I said. " I am not what your mother described me as, I just want to help." Then Little Red Riding Hood knelt down and started picking the colorful flowers. In  the meantime I ran off to go and trick the grandma. I put on some clothes similar to Little Red Riding Hood so it wasn't that obvious.*Knock Knock Knock* "Who is it?" said the grandma with a small voice. "It is me, Little Red Riding Hood with a basket of food for you." I said with the squeakiest voice I ever had. "There is a lever that you can pull on to open the door." I pulled the lever and ran in with my mouth wide. I ate her and dressed up as the grandma to fool the Little Red Riding Hood... *Knock Knock Knock* I woke up with excitement and said, " Who is it?" with the most Grandma like voice. 
"It is me Little Red Riding Hood." It worked, I tricked the Little Red Riding Hood into thinking I'm her grandma. "The lever on your right side will open the door." She came in with aw and curiosity. Little Red then says, " What a deep voice you have!" 

"The better to greet you with." I said.

"Goodness, what big eyes you have!"

"The better to see you with." I started to sweat and get nervous.

"And what big hands you have!"

"The better to hug you with."

Finally she said, "What big mouth you have!"

And I said, " The better to eat you with!" I jumped out of bed and ate her up. Then I went to sleep...

amazing spider man (From electros point of view)

i was not treated well by anyone so i had a low self esteem.Then i met someone called spider man. He saved my life. He told me happy birthday. He was my hero which i looked up to very much.On the day of my birthday my  boss made me stay and work while every one left this made me angry. While working i was electrocuted and fell in a big bowl of electric eels. I went unconscious. Upon waking up i realized that electricity was flowing through me. I was scared. I then met spider man again and  he comforted me at first but then betrayed me. They captured me and i was treated badly i then decided to become a villain out of this great feeling of anger. A man named harry freed me from were i was held.We had an elaborate plan. He mutated himself.harry was now green goblin and i was electro. We made these names for our selves.I (electro) told harry to kill all spider mans relatives. while the spider was fighting harry i held him and electrocuted him until he died. After that harry and i took over the world.*evil laugh* mooo hahaha.
