A folk tale is a very old sttory that has been passed doen from one family to another,from one generation to another. These old stories are often called fairy stories because so many of them are about fairies .Every country has its own folk tales and its own way of telling fairy stories.
In Germany,there lived two brothers,the Grimm brothers.They collected folk tales.We know these stories as "Grimm's Fairy Tales".
Many of the tales told aboutthe countries near Gremany where they lived.Some of them were partly ture.
The Grimm brothers did not really write the sttories for boys and girls.They planned them for older people living in Germany.So whenthe children heard the storied,they wanted to hear them again and again.
All of this happened long ,long ago, but boys and girls everywhere still read and enjoy Grimm's tales.
參考答案:民间故事是从一家流传到另一家，从一代人流传到下一代人的很老的故事。这些过去的故事常常是关于仙女的，所以常被称为童话故事。每个国家都有自己的民间故事和讲述民间故事的方式。
在德国居住在两兄弟——格林兄弟。他们搜集民间故事。这也就是我们熟知的《格林童话》。
他们的故事很多是关于他们居住的德国周边的国家的。其中的一些并不都是真实的。
格林兄弟的童话并不是为少男少女写的。他们计划着为年长一些的德国居民而写。所以当孩子们听到故事的时候，他们还想一遍一遍的听下去。
所有的这些发生在很久很久以前，但是每个地方的少男少女们仍旧在阅读并且享受故事中的乐趣 。
