Fairy tales do not teach children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed.

mommy,
your eyes used to sparkle
brighter than the stars in a clear night sky.
where did all that light go mommy?
who took it from you?
did it go to the place
where your smile went?
is he the one
who took your laugh too?
we know that you're not happy mommy.
he took our happy too.
