5. Fairytales Fairy tale is an English language term for a type of short narrative corresponding to the French phrase conte de fée, the Spanish phrase cuento de hadas, the Portuguese phrase conto de fadas, the German term Märchen, the Greek παραμύθι (paramithi), the Italian fiaba, the Polish baśń or the Swedish saga.English languagesaga Fairy tales typically feature such folkloric characters as fairies, goblins, elves, trolls, dwarves, giants or gnomes, and usually magic or enchantments. However, only a small number of the stories thus designated explicitly refer to fairies. The stories may nonetheless be distinguished from other folk narratives such as legends (which generally involve belief in the veracity of the events described) [1] and explicitly moral tales, including beast fables.folkloricfairies goblinselvestrollsdwarvesgiantsgnomesmagicenchantments [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_tale

Legend, for its active and passive participants includes no happenings that are outside the realm of "possibility", defined by a highly flexible set of parameters, which may include miracles that are perceived as actually having happened, within the specific tradition of indoctrination where the legend arises, and within which it may be transformed over time, in order to keep it fresh and vital, and realistic.Latinnarrativeverisimilitudemiraclesindoctrinationrealistic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend
