T-Rex: Fairy tales all begin and end with the same stock phrase! ONCE UPON A TIME, events happened to characters and were altered by them in some way, AND THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
T-Rex: But that's only in English, dudes!
T-Rex: In Polish the stories start with "Long, long time ago" and end with "...and I was there too, and I drank mead and wine"! SO MUCH BETTER. More author insertion in the last sentences of every story, please! Or we could at least do something like in Greek, where they end with "...and they lived well, and WE lived better!"
Dromiceiomimus: Hahah, suck on that THE PAST.
Utahraptor: In Slovak they end with "...and they lived happily, until they died"!
T-Rex: OMG BRB, MOVING TO SLOVAKIA
Utahraptor: Well, ARMENIAN fairy tales end with "...and then 3 apples fall from heaven" and then the storyteller gets to decide who in the audience gets the apples!
T-Rex: There's PRIZES?? Why are we settling for "happily ever after" when we could be boozing and winning imaginary apples??
Narrator: LATER:
T-Rex: Dudes, in Catalan the stories end "and with a dog and a cat, the tale is finished"! You are guaranteed a dog will at least make an appearance in every story!!
T-Rex: AHHHHHHHHHHH it's SO GOOD
