Problems that fairy tale heroes have to overcome: Perhaps some of these fairy tale characters need to learn that modern saying, "Just Say No!" What would happen if Jack of beanstalk fame just said, “Yeah, right. I don't think so!" instead of trading his cow for bean seeds? Or how about: Cinderella having a heart-to-heart with her friend Rapunzel about the character of her wicked step-mother? Or what would happen if the evil queen in Snow White didn't wallow about in front of her mirror, looking green in the gills with jealousy? These fairy tale figures have some problems to overcome, but how about setting up a new challenge? Get rid of the fear, the jealousy, and the usual bully, and see what you can come up with. Take any character from any fairy tale, and set up a new, intriguing problem

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The character from the fairy tale  I am going to pick is Kimmy the Cricket from Pinocchio. The new, intriguing problem I am to set up, is the following.

Jimmy the Cricket was portrayed as the "good, amicable consciousness" that whispered good pieces of advice to Pinocchios during the film. But what about if Jimmy would have been the opposite, a stern, strict, military-style of "consciousness," that instead of sweet and amicable pieces of advice, would have forced Pinocchio to act like a man. Yes, like a military sergeant that had pushed Pinocchio out of his comfort zone and forced him to have the character he needed to make good decisions. No Jimmy the Cricket lovely face, but the sergeant grim in his face.

Would Pinocchio have left Gepettos' house? Would he had been tempted to take the wrong turn and end up in the circus?

The story surely had been completely different.
