Grif shrugs. "I don't know, I guess they're supposed to trick you into learning things?" he says. "Like with morals. Because stories about animals are more fun than saying 'Hey kid if you're lazy nobody will like you and you won't have nice things'."
He scowls a little at that, probably remembering something, then winces as the scowl interacts with his bruised face. Stupid wall-running.
"So you tell the kids a nice story about how three little pigs built houses and the lazy ones built shitty houses, so a wolf knocks them down and eats the lazy ones."
He flips some finished soy burgers into a pan as adds, "Or at least that's the version I got. Some people's moms tell them they get captured and then when the hard working pig beats the wolf he goes and rescues the lazy ones. Kids are so soft these days."
