Fairy Tale Stories Have Even More Than Finding A Handsome Suitor

Since childhood we keep on listening the stories from fantasy world and we grow up watching fairy tales with a young girl who finally gets a winsome prince and living her whole life happily ever after in a castle. But these stories with "Happy Ever After" endings have some thing ever more than getting a handsome suitor. One thing good in all these fairy-tale stories is that they depict a strong and optimistic picture of a women who despite of so many unfavourable circumstances, have courage to with stand all the stressful circumstances. All stories give us lesson to be strong in life, no matter how hard the situation may seem.
CINDERELLA: Cinderella lived her whole life under the pressure and injustice behaviour of her step mother and sisters but still she had a ray of hope. Though she cried many times in the story but still there was something that became the reason of her being happy even serving her step family. It shows her greatness and curteous behaviour towards those who had never been good to her. Cinderella never thought of getting a prince, she never desired to live in a castle but still as a reward of her patience and as a fruit of her obedience, she became princess one day.

BELLE: Falling in love with a beast is what Belle did. She could have never thought she would get such a charming suitor. She left her house in search of her father and met a beast who had never been polite to anyone. He never knew how to talk generoulsy and how to live among people. He loved being isolated but some one came to his life, touched his heart with politensess and made him gorgeous. This story has two lessons. One that a good conduct, careful handling and polite attitude can change the person's behaviour towards others. If some one is treated as he is, he will remain as he is. But if someone is treated on what he could be, he will become what he could be. The second lesson we get is that appearance matters least. Belle was a beautiful women but still she made a choice to live with a spelled beast. Though with her good conduct, she changed the inside of the rude beast, soft. By the end of the story she was rewarded when the beast's spell broke and he turned into charming man.

ARIEL: A girl living under water always wishing to become a human being, to feel how people walk on feet. She had a desire to experience legs and for that she was passionate enough to pay any price. The spirit and utmost desire to become part of human's world was before she met Eric. So she struggled hard to achieve what she dreamt of. And finally her dream came true when she got the legs, and she could walk and run freely under the sky. The persistant efforts and emotional spirit gave her opportunity to become a human from a mermaid and her love for humans gave her Eric, a man not a merman.

JASMINE: Saultan used to Jasmine, " The law says you must be married to a prince" and she always argued that the law was wrong. Aladin was a poor street rat but Jasmine never looked at his status. She made a choice of a street rat because she understood that Aladin was rich from the inside. She chose not a fragile prince but a brave, quick and intellegent street guy. She saw roughness and toughness in him insted of how many horses he owned or how much expensive fabrics he wore.

SNOW WHITE: A girl who lived with seven dawarfs and had problem with none of them. The dawarfs in the story represents seven different natures of men. Snow white had enough talent to deal all of them according to his own natuer. She was sensible enough to understand the nature of those people and get adjusted in no time with all of them. And finally a boy came on horse and took her away.

POCAHONTAS: Pocahontas did not want to marry Coco Haum So she decided not to choose smoothest core. Pocahontas is a girl who stood in the way of the English diggers and saved the soil for black people. She openly took stand against the discrimination and strived for the rights of her villagers. She met Smith, one of the English men and changed his perceptions and believes. She was though not the son of the Chief but she was a daughter stronger than the sons. The tree always told her, "Listen with your heart, you will understand"

MAULAN: Maulan is a story about the gender discrimination. Its about the society where the men are considered superior. But Maulan proved that women have equal leading potential like men. Maulan not only became the arm of her father but also saved the kingdom ship from coming under the rule of the enemies. At first she had to pretend to be a man because she was a part of society where women were considered a worthless creature but later she came up as a women, the whole nation felt proud of. She always used to say, "Your duty is to your heart". Finally the guy who disliked her after knowing that he was having a girl in his army, fell in love with her.

Every girl has a dream to get a suitor who makes her life happy go lucky and this is the beauty of the fairy tale stories that they make us dream of a prince who would fight against all odds and will come on a horse or a magic carpet and take us to a place where there is only love and peace.All girls wish for brave knights. Ever girls dreams like Ariel, "Just you and me, Some day I'll be, Part of your world" but these stories also teach us some basic practical key points or core values to live life patiently, calmly, generously and with strong determinations.
