| Abstract | ||
| Children are the future of every nation. They are curious by their nature and enjoy “make-believe”. They have their own imaginary world where they can be other persons by pretending, exploring a variety of imaginative behaviours, and inventing imaginary companions. Such imaginary world may be created either by watching cartoons and movies or by attending plays for children, or listening to stories especially before going to sleep. They even ask to repeat the same story again and again if they like it. Among the adorable kind of stories that children, and even some adults, like are fairy tales. These stories teach them moral lessons, show them the good and evil, help them to be creative, successful, and intelligent. They may create their own stories. Moreover, fairy tales develop children’s imagination, and by this development nations arise. | ||
