I thought The Ransom of the Red Chief was a realistic and entertaining story. It shows how that not everything is going to go the way you thought, and you’d better prepare. The kidnappers didn’t think very far, and in their plan was way too tunnel-visioned on the money. This has happened in my own life when I wanted to take up landscape modelling without being careful enough. I made some messes and the end product was pretty poopoo. The Ransom of the Red Chief teaches this message in a funny, playful manner.
