Fairy Tales


Fairy tales are an important part of every culture. They help shape the way we think about the world, how we explain why things are and how we should act. Two important sources of traditional tales come from the greek storyteller Aesop and the german Brothers Grimm.

Read a few of the fairy tales from Aesop and the Grimm brothers and then post a comment about what you read. Are the tales you read similar to ones from your own culture? Do you agree with the moral of the story?

Some of the stories have an audio link. Try it out, but keep the sound down!
