believe in fairy tales

When I was a child, I had a thick coloring-page fairy tale book. I read it many times over and over. The cover of the book was ragged, revealing the color of the brown paper shell in the middle. The pages often fell out.

But there are two stories in it. After reading it once, I can't bear to read it again. Every time I turn to that page, I always jump over. One is "Charlotte's Web" and the other is "Prince of Tears". I thought there should be incompleteness and pain in fairy tales. Death, no matter what it preaches, is always unacceptable to me at that age.

Check out Charlotte's Web when you have time. A spider, keeping its promises and understanding the meaning of "humility". Have we long forgotten the definition of "friend"? Even the mouse who "forgets about profits" seems to be much more sincere than people.

"Humble", the last word Charlotte Weaver wrote.

Fairy tales are written by adults for children, but tell children that fairy tales are not true.

Sometimes I hope that fairy tales are more real than reality, so that the world will be more pure and beautiful.

    Not all pigs have such good luck. . Stupid and boring humans, waiting for a miracle from spiders. .
