Detailed explanation-1: -Most fairy tales begin with ‘once upon a time’ or ‘a long time ago’, and end with telling the reader that the characters ‘lived happily ever after’. Fairy tales are often set in the past, but not in a defined period of history, and they usually have a happy ending where the hero triumphs over adversity.

Detailed explanation-2: -A fairy tale (alternative names include fairytale, fairy story, magic tale, or wonder tale) is a short story that belongs to the folklore genre.

Detailed explanation-3: -A fairy tale typically begins with “Once upon a time” and has a happy ending. These tales feature magical creatures such as dwarfs, dragons, and elves and often have a central conflict of good vs.

Detailed explanation-4: -The series Once Upon a Time is based on Walt Disney’s original and re-imagined fairytales, but with an added, darker twist: not everyone’s story gets a happy ending. The series turns every original Disney movie and adaption into a more dramatic, more realistic version with new add-ons and crueler obstacles.
