Many were similar to stories told in France, Italy, Japan, and other countries.Between 1812 and1814, the brothers published two books in German.These included stories like "Hansel and Gretel" and"Little Red Riding Hood."The collections became known in English as Grimm's Fairy Tales. Darkness and Magic The Grimm brothers' tales reflected traditional life and beliefs. For example, forests are common in Germany, and this image often appears in the Grimms' stories. In the past, many people believed forests were dangerous places. In the Grimms' stories, a forest is the home of evil witches, talking animals, and other magical beings. Children's stories? Although most people today think of these stories as fairy tales for children, the brothers first wrote them primarily for adults.Many of their early tales were dark and a little scary.Later, the brothers changed the text of some of the original stories.They "softened" many of the tales and added drawings.This made them more appropriate for children.Like the early tales, though, each story still has a moral: work hard, be good, and listen to your parents. 【词义推测】 Match the two words with the same meaning. folktale A.反映 memorize B.图像 reflect C.民间传说 image D.记忆 evil E.成年人 witch F.主要地 prima
