People may have some unclear memories of their childhood， but almost everyone will remember the beautiful princess and the cruel queen in "Snow White"， the innocent little girl and the greedy big gray wolf in "Little Red Riding Hood"．1. For example， "True love can overcome anything"， and "Even a frog can turn into a prince"． However， at a certain age， we start to learn new things about life， particularly that love doesn't always win， and that a frog is just a frog．
2. Just look at animated films like "The Lion King" and "Frozen"， which have millions of fans young and old． And this year's Lucerne Festival in Switzerland - a classical music festival - will also feature the themes of "Childhood" and "Fairy tales"．

But if children only see just one side of reality， adults usually see the other． For example， in the movie "Maleficent"， we′re told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the evil queen． 4. Instead， she suffers great losses growing up， leading to the creation of her "evil'' side． And in US author James Finn Gamer's book "Politically Correct Bedtime Stories "，he tells the classic story of "Little Red Riding Hood"， but with a modem touch．
5. They may usually start with "Once upon a time but as we grow older， we learn that every story doesn't always need a "happily ever after" to be a good one．
A．Fairy tales are all about reality．
B．But somehow， our love for fairy tales never dies．
C．Most of us get our earliest life lessons from fairy tales．
D．The theme of fairy tales is to teach people courage and kindness．
E．Fairy tales have been adapted into versions suitable for children．
F．It looks like fairy tales aren't just stories our parents read us at bedtime．
G．Unlike the children's version of the story， we see that the queen wasn't born evil．
