Question

What does this quote mean? “Fairytales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” - Neil Gaiman

Answer 1

• Basically, it means that fairy tales aren't just made up to entertain kids before bedtime.
• They also have important lessons that teach us things.
• Of course, real dragons don't exist, but there are loads of things in the world that scare us just as much as dragons.
• And any good story will show us how to overcome our dragons.
