TEXT IV
: (113-120)
Fairy Tales
A child who has once been pleased with a fairy tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
An accusation made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Every child has sadistic impulses and, on the whole,
their
symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety
valve*
than an
incitement
to violent action. As to fears, there are, I think, well-authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, and so on do not exist; and that, instead of satisfying his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and strange that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were
sound
, the world would be full of madmen
attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl-friend.
No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world, and no normal child has ever believed that it was.
* valve:
a device for controlling the flow of a liquid or gas, letting it move in one direction only
