Easy but kind of cute.
Interesting take on classifieds. ;) The title was kind of a give away, though. I did, however, originally answer that the authors were the Grimm Brothers, but alas, I was not entirely correct.
very clever! The last one gave it away!
Very creative!!!
LOVE IT!!! Make many more of these!!!
I also thought of Grimms since the instructions said they would all have something in common, other then being ads
Congrats Drussel, on having the MOST POPULAR TEASER on the site
Thanks.
