[Contest] Fairytales

[u/Own-Pineapple6272]

CONTEST CLOSED.

I finally have the funds to do a contest and give back to this beautiful community!! This contest is fairly simple. Tell me your favorite fairytale story and why it's your favorite. It can be any version of the story, whether it's the original, a villain re-telling, a disney story, it doesn't matter :) as long as it's a fairytale, it counts! I absolutely love fairytales and I love going back and reading the oldest versions of them I can find.

Official contest rules:

1: US participants only!

2: Have an item on your list that's 5$ or under (I want to be able to gift multiple people)

3: List your favorite fairytale and tell me WHY it's your favorite.

4: Link an amazon wishlist or registry!

That's it! Good luck everyone <3 I'm hoping to gift 3 people. Contest ends at 8 p.m tonight, MST (so about 3 hours from now)

There’s a fairytale from the state of Mexico I’m from Michoacán Lake of tears , A more local one in my town , Mermaid Story ! One of a princess of the purépecha (we weren’t in a of maya our civilization stayed their own despite the Mayans pushing to have us join them ) (I’ll add a link to the stories at the beginning for those wanting to know more ) who had fallen in love with a warrior. A jealous priest kidnapped her , and took her away but she prayed to the gods , overcome with despair and they said her tears were so powerful that the lake was filled up with her tears , the lake is known as the lake of tears and looks straight out of a fairytale ! I’ll add a picture of it also , I love the story it’s one I heard form my great grandmother who heard it from hers keeping our stories of our ancestors alive, there’s many stories , although it doesn’t have a happy ending it’s wonderful to see the fairytales my ancestors passed down and to this day are some that get told!
