ABC’s Sarah Collerton (link) reports on the outcry of a decision by a BBC children’s show to re-write the ending of Humpty Dumpty. Apparently the kings horses and men did have the resources available to put our egg friend back together again. For what ever reason I found this story (even though it really is a non-story) interesting and pretty silly. I think kids are fine with learning that not all stories, even ones about eggs, do not have a happy ending.
