The reason I chose this book is because I loved reading fairy tales when I was a child. When I found this book in the library, I thought: "I've only ever read fairy tales in Chinese, never in English." So, I picked up Grimms' Fairy Tales. While reading it, I could also relive my childhood.
In this book, I came across "Snow White." When I was young, she was the dream of many girls. Every girl imagined themselves as a princess, and the story was adapted into movies and cartoons that most people have probably seen. But today, I'm not here to talk about "Snow White."
My favorite story in this book is "The White Snake." In the story, a king’s servant gains the ability to talk to animals after eating a bite of white snake. As a child, I often imagined myself having "superpowers" like him. Instead of using his powers for evil, the servant did many good deeds, such as helping people find lost items or rescuing injured animals. Each time, the animals would say to him, "We will remember you. Good deeds will be rewarded!" Later, when the servant needed to find a gold ring in the deep sea to marry the princess, the animals he had helped returned the favor by helping him find the ring.
After reading the story, I learned that being kind leads to good things happening to you. This story had a big impact on me when I was young, which is why I like it so much.
