C
Are fables(寓言故事) and fairy tales(童话故事) different or the same? They are both stories for kids, but fables are stories for adults(成人), too.
Fables are usually short stories. They passed down from grandparents to parents and then to children. Fables can teach lessons to people. People can learn much from them. Most of the characters are animals and nature(自然). They can talk and act like humans. The most famous fables were written by a man called Aesop. There are around six hundred fables in Aesop's fables. The Lion and the Mouse, The Farmer and the Snake and The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing are three examples.
Fairy tales are usually stories for children, often about magic characters such as fairies(仙女) and giants(巨人). Sometimes the characters are animals. We are able to enjoy these fairy tales because about two hundred years ago, Brothers Grimm travelled all over Germany and collected(收集) these stories before people forgot them. There are lots of fairy tales in Grimm's fairy tales, such as Sleeping Beauty, The Frog Prince, The Death of the Little Hen, The Fisherman and His Wife and The Strange Musician.
