What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales？In The Princess and the Pea (豌豆公主)，a poorly dressed girl，who insists she is a princess，is given a difficult test by the Queen.When she passes the test，we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself.In The Little Mermaid (小美人鱼 )，the mermaid，who lives under the sea，wishes to be with the humans on land.Through her experiences，we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures.In Pinocchio，a wooden puppet (木偶) turns into a boy when he finally learns how to tell the truth. Teaching values is the reason most often given for encouraging children to read stories.These fairy tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that are accepted around the world for many centuries.This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon. 语篇解读 本文是说明文。作者主要介绍了童话故事对孩子们的积极影响。 5Why do fairy tales have a great influence on children?
