Watch: What are fairy stories?
Fairy stories often start with the words 'Once upon a time'.
Many include a battle between good and evil and usually end with the characters living 'happily ever after'.
Fairy stories are imaginary tales set in fantastical lands. Take these ducks for example.
Well, the name 'fairy story' might make you think that the story would be about fairies and nothing else.
But actually a fairy story doesn鈥檛 have to have fairies in it at all!
They could be about a princess - or a prince for example.
Fairy stories always start with the words 'Once upon a time'.
So, once upon a time, there was a princess鈥
鈥ho was captured by a giant鈥
And, because fairy stories are always about a battle between good and evil,the princess had to be saved by her prince before she got eaten!
And when the duck finally managed to find the princess鈥
鈥e saved her when the giant wasn't looking鈥
鈥nd, as always happens in fairy tales, the two ducks lived happily ever after!
