Fairy tales
The fairy tale i chose from Perrault is The Fairies. It is a story about two sisters. The oldest is loved by the mother while the youngest, who is more beautiful, is hated and made to work all day. One day while fetching water from the stream, a fairie disguised as an old hag asks the beautiful daughter for a drink. When the daughter does, she tells the daughter that because of her kindness diomonds and precious stones will come out of her mouth when she speaks. When her wicked mother sees this she sends her oldest daughter to go out and give water to the old hag. The fairy disguises herslef as a beautiful woman this time and asks for water. The oldest daughter refuses to give her any water because she is waiting for an old hag. The fairy curses the oldest daughter so that whenever she speaks snakes and lizards come out of her mouth. The mother is so mad when she finds out that she blames it on the youngest daughter and goes to beat her, but the daughter has run off into the woods where she meets the Prince and he falls in love with her beauty. They get marries and the oldest daughter is trown out of the house and dies in the forest because no one will take her in.
I really liked this fairy tale because it the good daughter had to go through hard things but she was a good person and got her reward for it. I really liked the happily ever after. I would recomend this story to everyone and even read it to my kids.
i dont see any problems coming from this story.
