Great Ideas And Fairy Tale Stories

Great Ideas and Fairy Tale Stories

Life’s lesson are taught in various ways. Stories are one way to share ideas, beliefs, entertainment, information, and life struggles. Fairy tales are stories that mark inspiring and intelligent literature for all.

History shows that fiction story writers are people with profound depth and goodness in their hearts. Readers have to find out the moral value of the story. Thank God for the beautiful stories and the writers who help us see life, with hope and faith that goodness saves man.

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (as retold)
The Shoemaker and the Elves by Sue Ullstein
Pinnochio by Carlo “Collodi” Lorenzini
The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen


The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

“The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” features Nicholas Cage and Jay Baruchel in a fairy tale based story this 2010.

There are revisions and new ideas. For one fiction story to create effects and highlight, modifications are made. Virtues are highlighted in the films.

In the end the village boy triumphs with the magic, and helps his village/community with his bird friend to get good harvests.

The Shoemaker and the Elves

Stories are woven to show the beauty of life in simple things. The poor shoemaker works hard in his old age (and with his wife), then creates the finest shoes in their village.

The elves help them because they are a good couple who works hard. The wife makes clothes for the elves and there is sharing and support in the old couple and the elves.

Life is sharing in whatever form, and with everyone else.


Pinocchio

The Pinocchio story is the puppet (turned-real boy), who lies and gets his nose longer because of lying. Kids love the animation of this story. I could recall the toy stories in the movies where everything moves.

After the troubles, Pinocchio becomes a good boy and stays out of trouble. Again the virtue of goodness and honesty are shown.


The Little Match Girl

How lovely! But this story is a sad story of a poor little girl forced by a bad parent to sell matches in the cold snowy night. Another heartless boy robs her shoes.

The little match girl comes freezing to death in the snow while working. The symbols used in the story are vivid and deeply touching the heart.

In the end the little match girl dies and gets reunited with her grandmother to join with God.

Here we can see the abused children molested to do adult duties. While they are supposed to study and enjoy life, some people abuse them.

Children are angels, we have to help them live and enjoy life.

The Fairy Tale Stories

The Fairy Tale Stories

Fairy tales are imaginary stories. They do not exactly mean “there are fairies” but some kids and even adults associate these stories with magic, a big triumph of the characters, beautiful fairies, and life wonders. Sometimes they could be some fables and would involve animal and nature stories. The classification is huge for different cultures.

Let us peep into Storyland:

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves by the Grimm Brothers
The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde
Snow White and Rose Red by the Grimm Brothers


1. Alice in Wonderland is a famous fairy tale. It was even filmed and shown this 2010.

This girl Alice dreams of going into another land through a hole. In Wonderland she meets talking cats , rabbits, a caterpillar and other animals. In Wonderland, everything comes to be awesome: the beautiful garden, the odd funny characters, magic beyond life and where you eat something there will be changes in sizes. Alice becomes bigger and smaller just by eating cake and drinking some potion. The queen of hearts is a fascinating character, as well.

Johnny Depp starrs in the movie as the “Madhatter.”

2. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

This story gives the idea of the wicked witch, the symbolic red apple, and the kind seven dwarves who are Snow White’s best of friends. From the magic mirror that’s full of magic and which shows the vanity of the stepmother, poor Snow White becomes part of the dwarf family. The dwarves are not-good looking creatures but their hearts are better than those people who deceive using beauty and influence.

“Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who is the fairest one of all?”

Kids learn from the genuine love of the prince and the kindness of the dwarves.

3. The Selfish Giant

The idea of this story inculcates to children what Jesus really is, what God can be. How meek and kind, he can be as a boy. The selfish giant and his beautiful garden is enliven - the time the giant becomes a friend of the children. The selfish giant changes to be generous upon knowing the humble Christ. This creates wonder especially when the giant dies with a smile on his face. What’s God like? That even the giants and kings bow to him ?

4. Snow White and Rose Red

Snow White and Rose Red are sisters brought up by their mother to be good daughters/children.

When a bear knocks at their door, they help the bear which turned into a handsome prince. Later the prince marries Snow White, and Rose Red marries the prince’s brother. The two girls help the bear without waiting for any reward; but usually “Kindness reaps its fruits,” and “Goodness gets its rewards.”
