長輩將歷代傳承和經歷的事情告訴下一代,這些話稱為童話
古人不會亂編故事(過去的事)要說的話都是有意義的真實事,這稱為傳說
格林童話只是收集各地的傳說而成童話
原版沒有作者,只有說者
原版的格林童话是译自于德国著名作家格林兄弟的短篇小说合集，收录了两百多个小故事，后来成为了经典故事，影响了全世界。
原版应该不是真的，原版要黑暗的多，不适合小孩看。格林兄弟只是把德国的民间传说收集起来罢了，然后这民间故事再加以修改变成小孩子可以看的童话。
《格林童话》是由德国格林兄弟编撰的童话故事集，书中大多是德国经典民间故事，该书已经成为世界文学史上的经典之作。以下是《格林童话》中的两个原版英文故事：
1. 《美女与野兽》：
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a merchant and his three daughters. The eldest two were selfish and vain, but the youngest, Beauty, was kind and gentle.
One day, the merchant lost all his money and had to move to a small cottage in the countryside. There, Beauty would often go for walks in the forest and talk to the animals.
One day, while she was walking, she saw a large castle in the distance. As she got closer, she saw that the castle was enchanted. Anyone who went inside would be trapped forever.
But Beauty was brave and decided to go inside. Inside, she found a handsome prince who had been turned into a beast by a wicked witch. The witch had put a spell on the castle and the prince, and only true love could break the spell.
Beauty fell in love with the prince, and they spent many happy days together. Eventually, their love broke the spell and the prince was transformed back into a human. They lived happily ever after.
2. 《小红帽》：
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved to wear a red hood. Her name was Little Red Riding Hood.
One day, her grandmother was sick, and Little Red Riding Hood wanted to visit her. Her mother told her to be careful and not to talk to strangers.
But on the way, Little Red Riding Hood met a wolf. The wolf tried to trick her into giving him the basket of goodies she was carrying.
Little Red Riding Hood was smart, though, and she knew the wolf was up to no good. She outsmarted the wolf and ran away.
Little Red Riding Hood reached her grandmother's house safely and told her all about the wolf. The grandmother was so proud of her granddaughter for being so brave and clever.
From then on, Little Red Riding Hood always wore her red hood, and she never talked to strangers again.
