Fairy tales are fun to read about.
They sure are. Fairy tales are a short story that usually features fantasy characters.
I like classic fairy tales.
I do too. What is your favorite fairy tale?
I can't really think of a favorite right now, but I still enjoy tales such as the old woman who lived in a shoe.
Yes, that one is called Little Miss Hubbard. It is a very popular fairy tale.
Do you have a favorite?
tales may be distinguished from other folk narratives such as legends (which generally involve belief in the veracity of the events described) and explicit moral tales, including beast fables. The term is mainly used for stories with origins in European tradition and, at least in recent centuries, mostly relates to children's literature.
In less technical contexts, the term is also used to describe something blessed with unusual happiness, as in "fairy-tale ending" (a happy ending) or "fairy-tale romance".
quicker than books. As a result, you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say but I shall still be,
