Could be that the boy is going through some emotional issues and this is his way of expressing or coping. Or perhaps he saw it in a movie and is imitating without realizing the seriousness. It's hard to say for sure without more context.
Maybe he's trying to get attention or play some sort of prank. It's a strange behavior for sure.
He could be telling the troll story as a warning. Maybe they are approaching an area where there might be more trolls or similar dangerous creatures, so he wants everyone to be aware of what they could face.
Da Bao played dumb because he was the illegitimate child of the Qing Emperor and the Eldest Princess. He chose to play dumb to save his life. In order to cover up the truth, the Eldest Princess lied that Da Bao was Prime Minister Lin's son and sent him to the Lin family to be raised. Although Da Bao looked like a fool, he was not a fool. It was just that his IQ was slightly lower and his thinking and reaction were relatively slow. The purpose of him acting dumb was to protect himself and hide his true identity. Da Bao was a hidden character with a powerful role in the drama.
The answer is no. In the story, the boy is quite clever. He uses his wits to outsmart the wolf. He might find a hiding place or use some sort of distraction to keep the wolf away from him. There could be elements in the story like the boy climbing a tree that the wolf can't reach, or using a loud noise to scare the wolf off, so the wolf doesn't get the chance to eat him.
Well, it depends on the specific story. In some traditional tales where the wolf is the villain, like in Little Red Riding Hood in some interpretations, the wolf does devour the boy or the main character. However, there are also modern retellings or different cultural versions where the boy might be saved before the wolf can eat him, so it's not always a definite yes.
In fantasy romance novels, the heroine could pretend to be a boy to access magical powers or go on quests that are typically reserved for men. It adds an element of intrigue and challenges to the relationship.
I have no idea. It's a very tragic and mysterious situation that requires more details and investigation to understand.
In some fanfictions, Naruto might distance himself because he discovers some dark secrets about the ninja world or his own past. These revelations could shock him so much that he needs time alone to process and figure out how to deal with them.
One reason in fanfiction could be the pressure he faced. Draco was always under the pressure to uphold his family's reputation. He might have felt trapped in a role that he didn't fully embrace. And as he grew older, he saw the hollowness of it all. He may have compared himself to others who seemed to have more freedom to be true to themselves, and this led to self - loathing. For example, when he saw Harry and his friends being so carefree in their friendships and beliefs, while he was constantly constrained by his family's expectations.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, Naruto discovers some dark secrets about his past, like his family's involvement in something he considers immoral. This new knowledge could make him question his own identity and lead to self - hatred. He might feel that he's a product of something bad and that he can't escape this 'taint' no matter how hard he tries.
Another reason could be related to his origin. In fanfic, if his Uzumaki heritage is explored in a way that makes him feel like a burden or an outcast more than in the original series. Maybe there are secrets about his family that make him question his own worth. For instance, if there are made - up prophecies or family curses in the fanfic that make him think he's doomed to bring misfortune, he could end up hating himself.
