I was left quite amused after listening to the story about Lily and the Lion.
In the beginning, the
father was willing to gamble with his precious daughter on the line for a rose that she wanted. I think the father did not make quite the rational decision. Other than that, Lily was very quick to trust the prince. She was even willing to marry him even though they had just met. The prince might have had evil intentions and would have even tried to kill and eat her. After they married and had a child, Lily was quick to leave the child behind to follow the prince, who had turned onto a white dove for over seven years. This situation led me to conclude that Lily, as a lover is very dedicated and committed to fulfilling her duties to her husband, but she is still lacking as a mother. Overall, this story is fit to be a fairy tale as it includes all the exciting and miraculous elements of what a fairy tale should be. I don’t think it would be quite suitable to use as a moral lesson as it does not teach anything valuable.
