Question

"For when they began to live happily ever after, they were warned by that wise old witch, the husband's mother, not to take on anyone off the street." Which two phrases best show that the narrator's story is a fairy tale?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. live happily ever after

2. wise old witch

Explanation:

Fairy tales are folklore genres and short stories usually filled with accounts of couples, who after experiencing some travails together, lived happily ever after. In the real world, there is no such thing as living happily ever after because trials are a part of life. Couples would always experience trials and facing them unitedly is most important.

The phrase about the wise old witch is also characteristic of fairly tales. Old witches who exist to cause harm or protect vulnerable people are depicted in such tales.
