In Mafalda, by Quino (Argentina, 1968):

Mum: Here you go, Mafalda, why don’t you read Little Tom Thumb, it’s much more appropriate for your age.Mafalda, reading: “… and in the dark, thinking he was taking care of Tom Thumb and his brothers, the ogre killed his own daughters…”Mafalda: That’s funny. And here I thought that at any age, a kiss was much more appropriate than a murder.
