Fairy tales have always been part of our culture. These fairy tales started out to be a form of entertainment, but as they were handed on from one generation to another, they became something more than just a simple fairy tale. They slowly became bedtime stories for children, movies that later became classics, and most important part of our childhood.

She then encounters with her fairy godmother, and with a touch of a wand she transforms her into something beautiful and lovely. The fairy godmother gives her the courage to go out to the ball and for once be what she truly is.

Thus our children find a way to cope with fairy tales. Secondly, fairy tales differentiates what is good from evil. In every fairy tale you always have someone who is good, often a victim or a hero and then someone who is evil, a villain “With the usual triumph of good over evil, the child is thereby able to identify with the symbolic figure and absorb the moral message
