What they have in common: NATURE

It was interesting to read fairy tales passed on by different cultures and ethnic groups. I was convinced that most fairy tales talk about marriage.  The power of fairy tales is strong because regardless of their origins, they all contain universal issues of humans.  Also, fairy tales delicately deliver women’s emotion upon obstacles and relationship with nature such as fish, and pigeons.  My favorite tale is Yeh-Shen mainly because her relationship with a lovely golden orange fish is so genuine
