A cikin littafin yara na Chris Colfer da ake kira Ƙasar Labarai: Gargaɗi na Grimm, Sojojin Napoleon na Faransa na sojoji, bindigogi, takuba, da igwa sun isa ƙasar tatsuniya inda Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, da kowane irin mutane da aljanu suke zaune.
Nan take yarinyar da ke kula da wurin ta fara shirya runduna domin yakar maharan. Wane zabi take da shi? To, akwai dalilai da yawa, waɗanda suka bambanta da labarin, cewa wannan ba shine ƙwaƙƙwaran wayo wanda babu shakka marubucin da kusan dukkan masu karatunsa suke ɗauka ba.
Yarinyar ta yi jigilar dakaru masu yawan gaske cikin dakika kadan zuwa wani wuri domin yakar maharan. Ba a taba la'akari da yiwuwar jigilar maharan zuwa tsibirin da ba kowa ko kuma wani wuri dabam.
Yarinyar ta canza makamai kusa da ita zuwa furanni. Yiwuwar yin hakan ga dukkan bindigogi da igwa ba a taɓa la'akari da su ba.
Yarinyar, wacce ita ma aljana ce, da sauran aljana daban-daban na kwance damarar sojojin da suka ga dama da tsafi, har ma da sihirce tsire-tsire a lambun su don yin hakan. Yiwuwar yin hakan en masse ba a taba la'akari ba.
Sai bayan da bangarorin biyu suka tsunduma cikin tashin hankali na kisan jama'a, dan'uwan yarinyar ya ambaci sojojin da ke adawa da shi cewa tashar sihirin da suka isa ta hanyar ya dauki shekaru 200, ta yadda yakin daular Faransa a karni na 19 ba zai yiwu ba. Ba a taɓa la'akari da ra'ayin faɗin wani abu gaba ɗaya ga maharan kafin yaƙin - duk abin da zai hana ko fadakarwa ko tsoratarwa ko wani abu - ba a taɓa la'akari da shi ba.
Bukatar a yi yaki a cikin wannan labari, kamar yadda aka saba a rayuwa ta hakika, ba wai kawai ake zato ba; shiru ake dauka. Tunanin cewa mutum yana da wani dalili na yaki ba a ambace shi kwata-kwata ko ma an yi nuni da shi. Don haka, ba a taso da tambayoyi ko shakku. Kuma babu wani sabani a fili lokacin da mutane daban-daban a cikin labarin suka sami lokacin alfahari, ƙarfin hali, haɗin kai, jin daɗi, ɗaukar fansa, da jin daɗin yaƙi. Ko kasa da wanda ba a ambata ba shine sirrin mafi zurfi cewa, yayin da yakin yake ta hanyoyi da yawa ba a so, ta wasu hanyoyi ana nemansa sosai.
Yaƙin da kansa, kamar yadda ake yi a rayuwa ta ainihi, ba a iya gani sosai. Manyan jaruman sun shirya manyan wuraren kashe-kashe wadanda, a karshe, ana kashe yawancin wadanda aka kashe da takuba.

Babu maganar jini, hanji, tsoka, bata gabobin jiki, amai, tsoro, hawaye, tsinuwa, hauka, bayan gida, gumi, zafi, nishi, kuka, kururuwa. Babu ko mutum daya da ya ji rauni da za a tantance. An ambaci yawancin matattu a cikin jimla ɗaya da cewa sun “ɓace,” kuma daga baya an yi bikin “kyakkyawan” bikin girmama su.

A cikin Ƙasar Labarun, kuna iya ɗaga wando da juya layuka na gabatowar bindigogi zuwa furanni. Mutum ba ya yin haka, domin yaki shine labari mafi daraja; amma mutum zai iya yi.
A cikin Ukraine, babu sihiri wands. Amma babu wanda ake bukata.
