Die drei kleinen Schweinchen or Three Little Pigs
Cinderella or Cendrillon by Perrault
Let me point out two other great uses for fairy tales.
Language-learning can be greatly enhanced by reading and listening to these familiar stories. Pinterest has dozens of posts on fairy tales in French, Spanish, Italian, German and other languages. Some posts take you to paid services, but many allow you to use the material for free. There are even slow audio versions so you can really train your ear to hear the new language.
The Fable Cottage allows you to read fairy tales in five different languages for free; access to video and audio material does require becoming a member, however.
YouTube is another excellent source for fairy tales in other languages, but there is another use for English speakers: sleep enhancement. There are videos using readers with soothing voices to lull both children and adults to sleep. Some of the videos bill themselves as “Truly Boring Fairy Tales,” “Bedtime Story Fairy Tales to Fall Asleep,” or “Softly Told Tales.”
Then again, perhaps we should avoid some of the more gruesome tales by the Brothers Grimm if we want sweet dreams.
Buona notte! Bonne nuit! Buenas Noches! Gute Nacht! Good night and sleep tight!

“Bedtime Stories for Adults – More Viking Myths”
Two different people urged me to catch “The Social Dilemma,” an informative and frightening documentary on Netflix. Following their advice, I spent around 90 minutes watching social media insiders warn about the pernicious effects of our electronic devices. 
I try to keep my streaming services to a very limited number, but I recently was given a year free of Apple + with the purchase of an iPhone. I must be honest, not much appealed to me at first perusal. Too many kiddie shows and programs aimed at family entertainment.
When all of the negative and scary news starts to get you down, consider visiting the Great Big Story initially launched by CNN.
The Great Big Story site hosts short films on a myriad of topics that will amaze and uplift you. For kicks, type “Paris,” “London,” “China” or “Italy” in the subject line which will bring up short films for those of us who would prefer to be traveling the world right now.
Libraries have two strikes against them during this Covid-19 outbreak. They are not considered essential services and they risk attracting numbers of people who may catch or spread the disease. I understand the rationale, but if ever we needed the comfort of books, it is now.
If you are an Amazon Prime member and a Whole Foods shopper, you owe it to yourself to download the Whole Foods Market app to your phone. Letting the check-out person scan your app gives you an immediate 10% discount on yellow tag sale items. There are also Prime Member Deals throughout the store. At check-out, you can also use your cell phone number if it is listed on your Amazon Prime account. Being a Prime member does seem to make the Whole Foods experience a little less painful on the wallet.
