Quote :

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To get her poor doggiea bone,
When she got there
The cupboard was bare
So the poor littledoggie had none.

And the question presented to you the jury is; Who stole or
ate all the food and bones?





Suspects: The doggie , Mother Hubbard , Raistlin the Wizard , Little Boy Blue

Ah, old mother Hubbard...this was one of my favourite nursery ryhmes as a child. Well, as this question was asked, 'Who stole or ate all the food and bones?' I would immediately doubt whether some of the suspects are even capible of stealing this so-called bone for the poor doggie.

First of all, I would like to rule out Raistlin the wizard, simply because this person probably was not even on this planet at the time the crime happened. In fact, I strongly suspect that these muggle tales were even told to him as a child, along with the occasional bed-time story from the popular wizarding children's story book, 'The Tales of Beetle the Bard.' It is too obvious thatn this suspect had no involvement at all with such an incident.

Secondly, I would like to rule out of suspician the poor, unfortunate little doggie. I mean, how could a beast have been portrayed by such a sad aray of words at the end of the ryhme if it were in fact guilty of the crime. It is a confidential matter that many people have told me 'was the dogs own fault.' But to simply say this was self inflicted is completely out of order. I mean, how was the poor dog meant to open the cupboard? I mean, the bottom line is, it's a dog, and I do not think old mother Hubbard would have been able to train it, but I will discuss that issue later. The fact of the matter is that I believe that this was ot at all to do with the dog and/or that is was the dogs fault.


On the other hand, I see little boy blue and old mother Hubbard as the two prime suspects in this case.

My reasons for strongly suspecting old mother Hubbard are as follows. How do we really know what this old woman was like, how old she actually was, or whether she was in fact mentally sable. It seems to be that being described as old means that the woman was well into her latter years. She may have had problems that weren't mentioned. She may not even be of the right mind. Are any of you familiar with the horror movie 'Hide and Seek?' As some of you may know, in the film, the father of the little girl developes a mental problem and takes on the role of 'Charlie,' in order to play with is daughter, and of course, he does know he is the one doing it, so he starts to blame others for his own actions. So what I am in fact saying is, maybe the old mother Hubbard had mental conditions similar to the dad in that movie, and therefore, she may not have even know that she was the one who took the bone and food out of the cupboard. That is when she would have started to think other people were responsible.

And now I'm going to speak of my other prime suspect, Little Boy Blue. In the nursery rhyme world, anything is possible, so therefore, it would have been easy for this young man to sneak into another nursery rhyme story-line and be the crimal rather than the poor little weeping boy we know him as. He might have decided that he was sick of people talking about him as a bit of a wimp and taken on a life of crime instead. He may have gone, 'off the rails,' in his teenage years as it were, and therefore tried to cause havock by breaking into old mother hubbards home and stealing the food supplies she and her doggie need so as not to starve. Was this what he wanted to do, turn to a life of crime over a so-called 'boring' life of watching sheep.

And so, dear friends, I leave with you these thoughts to deliberate, and I must make you swear that you will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth!

Well, my fellow jury members, you made some good points. I think that we can take the dog off the list. If he had taken it, then why would he be dissappointed when he saw there was none?

I fully support the theory that Old MH is the culprit in this. Like you brought up, it is possible that she was not in her right mind when this happened. She may have eaten the food herself, or mabey given it to a passer-by, or a group of kids collecting food for a food bank. Old MH is the one that we need to keep in our view.

I dont think that fully rules out little boy blue though. He may be little, but little boys eat the most. How do we know the little boy is not a mini, meaner version of Rai? Or just a wandering, confused little boy? He may have been walking through the forest, and gotten hungry and saw the house. Then, he could have easialy snuck in, and saw the food and eaten it. The little boy can not be ruled out yet.

Rai pretty much can be ruled out too though. I think deep down he has a soft spot, and would never be able to hurt that poor little woman and her dog.
