A fairy tale is a story about imaginary and sometimes magical beings. The purpose of a fairly tale is to of course, entertain but it is also to give a type of message that the reader will remember. Most fairy tales used the phrase "Once upon a time" in order to appeal to the younger audience and to indicate that the story is in the past. There are many variations of fairy tales. The typical Disney  fairy tales focus on the more happy stories rather than the dark and mysterious ones. If I had to choose a fairy tale to be in I would choose Peter Pan.

The meaning of the Chinese folktale is about a good man who never killed anything and has a good heart. The man has pieces of silver in a jar and a bunch of ants got in the jar and ate all of the silver. The family went to go kill all of the ants who ate the silver. The kind man did not think it was right to kill all of the ants. The man was taken to a nice palace to meet a king. The king praised him on not killing the ants and being kind. It was all a dream. My interpretation when reading this story was to be kind.

The smallest acts of kindness will mean so much to others. I liked this story. It had a good meaning behind it and it was not hard to understand.
