I think so anyway.

Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.

If you want them to be religious fanatics only let them read one fairy tale.

Once children stop believing in magic & make believe, they are no longer children and that s sucks.

“You can understand and relate to most people better if you look at them -- no matter how old or impressive they may be -- as if they are children. For most of us never really grow up or mature all that much -- we simply grow taller. O, to be sure, we laugh less and play less and wear uncomfortable disguises like adults, but beneath the costume is the child we always are, whose needs are simple, whose daily life is still best described by fairy tales.

Leo Rosten quote (Polish born American comic Novelist, He is best known for his humorous works and character Hyman Kaplan. 1908-1997)
Life is a Highway. Let's share the Commute.
