Therefore theirstory has to be altered. In each book of this series, a tale is being told, which the children of this land are acquainted with, but it also resembles to tales from other lands. Each tales alter right at the twist of the narration and thus, the first guess takes shape. For the second guess, the kind of alteration does change. And another alteration in the tale has been devised for the third guess. Each of this tales, in each of the books, are told in three forms, but these are not all what this series proposes. At the conclusion of each, the reader is told that what they had read were just only guesses. What is your presumption? If you don't want this tale to look like the preceding form, how should it be concluded? Besides the charm of a sweet tale and its craftiness mixed with humorous hints, the series is calling its young readers to guess, too.
