Fairy tales have educational valences. Didactic experience has convinced us of the instructive-educational value of fairy tales, because they bring a valuable contribution to the development of knowledge processes, the emotional and cognitive processes, and the formation of children's will and character traits. Stories have different meanings, at different levels of understanding. The child can discover these meanings, that can enrich his imagination in a certain way at a given time. Later, when he grows up, he discovers other aspects of the story, which he knows better, and observes that he has matured.
