Once upon a time there lived a
wise, old, creative, god-like creature named Holidae Nationala. He was very
imaginative, and longed for nothing more than to create something to look
forward to everyday; a reason to celebrate, some might say. For many moons, he
thought long and hard about what makes life great. He thought for so long, that
by the time he was done 365 days had passed. He was exhausted, but satisfied
that his hard work would benefit the masses by providing them with a little bit
of happiness everyday. But he was by no means finished. For soon after, he
realized that he was missing one more reason - a 366th in fact! Only
then was he finished. And what he produced was something magical, something
that no other would ever be able to accomplish. For he, Holidae Nationala created
366 National Holidays, conveniently named after himself. Legend has it that, it
is because of this innovative creature’s imagination that today is National
Tell A Fairy Tale Day!
Fairy Tales are actually “a type of short story that typically features folkloric fantasy
characters, such as fairies, goblins, elves, trolls, dwarves, giants, mermaids,
or gnomes, and usually magic or enchantments.” Fairy tales were traditionally told orally and date as
far back as anywhere from 6th-3rd century BC to 100-200
AD. The written form of fairy tales didn’t appear until the late 1600s, in
which they are thought to have originated from Germany.
Some of the most popular fairy tales are those of Aesop, and are most often
associated as children’s stories.
