Once upon a time...
Once upon a time there lived in Germany two brothers.At school they met a wise man who led them to a treasure—a library of old books with tales more fascinating than any they had ever heard.(21)_________(inspire),the brothers began collecting their own stories,listening to the folktales people told them.Soon they produced their own treasure—a book of fairy tales that would charm millions in faraway lands for generations(22)________(come).
The brothers Grimm,Jacob and Wilhelm,named their story collection Children’s and Household Tales and published it in Germany in1812.The collection(23)________(translate) into more than160languages up to now.The stories and their characters continue to feature in virtually every media:theatre,opera,comic books,movies,paintings,rock music,advertising and
fashion.
Such fame would have shocked the modest Grimms.During their lifetimes the collection (24)________(sell)few copies in Germany.The early editions were not even aimed at children. They had no illustrations,and scholarly footnotes took up almost as much space as the tales(25) __________.Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm began their work at a time(26)__________Germany had been occupied by the French under Napoleon.The new rulers restricted local culture.As young scholars,the brothers Grimm began to work on the fairy tale collection in order to save the endangered oral storytelling tradition of Germany.
(27)_______the brothers implied that they were just keeping records of tales,Wilhelm continued to polish and reshape the stories up to the final edition of1857.In an effort to make them more acceptable to children and their parents,he stressed the moral of each tale and emphasized gender roles.To this day,parents still read them to their children because they approve of the lessons in the stories:keep your promises,don’t talk to strangers,work hard,obey your parents.
Yet(28)_______all Wilhelm’s additions,the most important part of these stories was left untouched.The cruel treatment of children and the violent punishments handed out to the stories’bad guys are too much for some parents.
So what accounts for their popularity?Some have suggested that it is(29)_______the characters are always striving for happiness.But the truth probably lies in their origin.Grimms’tales were born out of a storytelling tradition without boundaries(界限)of age or culture.The brothers’skill was to translate these into a universal style of writing that seems to mirror (30)_______moods or interests we bring to our reading of them.And so it was that the Grimms’fairy tales lived happily ever after.
