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

The Summer Day<br /> Who made the world?<br /> Who made the swan, and the black bear?<br /> Who made the grasshopper?<br /> This grasshopper, I mean-<br /> the one who has flung herself out of the grass,<br /> the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,<br /> who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down-<br /> who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.<br /> Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.<br /> Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.<br /> I don&#039;t know exactly what a prayer is.<br /> I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down<br /> into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,<br /> how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,<br /> which is what I have been doing all day.<br /> Tell me, what else should I have done?<br /> Doesn&#039;t everything die at last, and too soon?<br /> Tell me, what is it you plan to do<br /> with your one wild and precious life?<br /> &mdash;Mary Oliver
