For me, mom’s fairy tales in every night can be regarded as the most impressive thing about childhood: Thumbelina, The Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid and Little Red Riding Hood… Those characters, plots and stories are just like the never-betraying buddies, keeping accompany with me in all of the fantastic dreams.

 

I imagined for thousands of times of myself being one of the wonderful characters, being the full-dressed Cinderella running hurriedly on the floor; being the Snow White living happily with the litter dwarfs; being Jack climbing ambitiously onto the huge beanstalk……However, these thoughts, along with child’s innocence and naiveté, are all gone away as growth. I lost courage and curiosity little and little, and at times I would wonder: Where on earth did those fairy tales go?

 

I had no answer until one day I saw their trails in CU campus.

Perhaps they did not go.

 

It is possible to regain innocence, and again be part of those stories as long as you like.

See, Fairy tale, is just by our side.
