Ok, I have taken your advice and crafted a new ending. Tell me what you think.

This is a Grimms fairy-tale. This tale contains a hidden layer of meaning which is not readily apparent. The encoded meanings and the mechanism used to conceal them within the narrative will be revealed in a later piece.

"this was missing something..."

i think there should've been a little more of a conflict....not like a physical fight. also i think it was missing some twist ending....u know like he's too lazy to take the crown...or too lazy to do something....just a twist

other than that i did like it, keep it up!

Author's Response:

Good point. It is a Grimms tale so there is a limit to what is possible, but yes, I do see an opportunity right at the end.

Thanks

"It was alright..."

The punchline wasn't that good. It was kinda slow. But a really good effort. Definatley doesn't deserve blamming. It's a decent job.

Author's Response:

Yes, I realize that it is a bit slow. The point was less in making it entertaining than in making it clear.

In the next piece I intend to return to the story with a couple of observers. One who voices the same criticisms as pointed out here, while the other explains the hidden meanings contained within the story.

"Encoded messages or not.."

.. I actually expected a punchline after all of that. Maybe in your next version, the newly-crowned laziest son should push the old fart out of bed and get down to some serious sluggardness! :)

Author's Response:

Excellent idea!

It was ok I suppose. It ended too quickly, and the charcaters spoke soooo sloooowly.
