Most of us get our earliest life lessons from fairy tales, like “True love can overcome (战胜) anything” and “Even a frog can turn into a prince”. However, when we grow up, we start to learn new things about life, especially that love doesn’t always win, and that a frog is just a frog. Even so, our love for fairy tales never dies. Just look at cartoons like The Lion King and Frozen which have millions of fans young and old.

“Fairy tales are always there because they are the stories of our lives in the purest form.” wrote US writer Laura Packer. “They are stories of love and loss, happiness and sadness, riches and dreams.”

Fairy tales are all about the real world. But if children only see just one side of life, adults usually see the other. For example, in the 2014 film Maleficent, we’re told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the views of the evil queen. Unlike the children’s version (版本) of the story, we see that the queen wasn’t an evil at birth. Instead, she experiences great lossers, leading to her “evil” side. And in US writer James Garner’s bedtime story books, he tells the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood, but with a modern touch: When the wolf tells Red Riding Hood that it isn’t safe for a little girl to walk through the woods alone, she calls the wolf sexist (性别歧视者), which connects with today’s women’s rights movement.

It looks like fairy tales aren’t just stories our parents read us at bedtime. They may usually start with “Once upon a time…”, but as we grow older, we learn that every story doesn’t always need a “Happily ever after” to be a good one.

When we have small cuts in the skin (皮肤), something strange may happen. The cuts are able to heal (痊愈) themselves in a couple of days. How does this happen? Read on, and you will find out the secret.

Every living thing on the earth is made up of cells (细胞). Cells grow and make new cells. Most cells are very tiny and we can’t see them with our eyes. Different cells have different uses. Our skin cells are special ones. The cells on the surface (表面) of our skin are old dead cells. New skin cells are right under the surface. These are the living skin cells. They do work for our bodies. They help protect our bodies and heal cuts. 

Our bodies make skin cells all the time. As the old cells fall off, new cells grow in the same place. Each person makes about 18 kg of skin cells during his or her life. Surface skin cells fit together closely with no gaps between them. When you cut or burn yourself, you can harm your skin cells. A small cut will not do much harm. Your skin will quickly heal itself by making new skin cells. How do skin cells work? First, the cells near the cut get bigger and move into the gap. Next, these bigger cells meet in the middle. They form a new layer (层) of skin cells. Finally, new cells will grow until the gap disappears completely. In this way, your skin can grow and get well itself.

How amazing the tiny cells are! Next time you have a cut, don’t worry about it. Maybe in a few days, you will be surprised to find it healed.
