I think a fairy tale is a made up fantasy story that teaches a lesson. I think they are still relevant today because we are still telling these stories today and the lessons they teach we are still learning.

A fairy tale is a short story set in a magical realm, with human characters as well as otherworldly beings, like witches and wizards. The heroes of these stories often face improbable scenarios against evil villains.They are relevant today because they give hope and feed the imagination.

A fairy tale is made up of mythical creatures. Fairy tales are set in the past and have happy endings.

Moses Taylor

A fairy tale is a made-up story that almost always ends with a happily ever after.

I think that fair tales are meant to take us away from reality. They are still relevant because we all have problems to run away from.

Haylee

The magic is what makes a fairytale. The characteristics of a Fairytale are like "Once upon a time". Yes they are still relevant because they have hide meanings to teach you a lesson.

I think a fairy tale is a fairy tale because it uses caricatures and fantasy creatures to tell a moral story. I think they are less relevant today than they once were but are still somewhat important as we all know them still.

Fairy tails are usually part of someone’s imagination. It ends happily ever after. There’s usually some sort of princess that finds a prince.

A fairy tale is a children's tale about imaginable characters and lands. They are often set in the past, have an imaginable villain and usually have a happy ending. They are still relevant because they feed imagination and gives good moral lessons.

a fairy-tale is a story that involves a story line that is full of mystical characters and situations that are either too good to be true, or could never happen in real life, with fairies, giants or talking animals. it includes lots of magic and magical moments. i think its still used today but in a different form

Fairytales are filled with magic and contain a lot of imagination and can also contain things that happen in the stories that could never happen in real life. I think fairytales exist in today's world, it just all depends on how you look at people's life and stories.
