Babar, revisited

Do you remember the story of Babar? I was a bit surprised when I reread this children's classic. I remember enjoying it when I was a child. But now.....it's a little disturbing. Here's a mother's take on the classic tale. I agree with most of it, except her calling the old lady a cougar. I don't think it was meant like that at all, that's us putting modern values on an older tale.
