fairy tales This is what I've read at the end of a fairy tale called "Kate Crackernuts": They all lived happy and died happy, and never drank out of a dry cappy.
I suppose it's one of these phrases that usually occut at the end of fairy tales, but what does it mean literally? I can find the word "cappy" in any dictionary!
(By the way, is it correct to use "any" with a singular noun (as I've just done it in the previous sentence)? )
Does anybody of you know the fairy tale? I wonder where it comes from, actually... Do you think it is a typically English fairy tale?
I've realized that I know it very well (but with some changes, though) - when I was small, my grandfather used to play the fairy tale at his video recorder for me. And I remember some Czech actors starring there... I wonder if the Czechs would shoot such a film (I mean an English fairy tale... ).Or is it written by the Brother Grimms? |
