Do you remember when your grandma told you the story of Snow White? Ah, the happy days of
childhood!
But did you know that Snow White comes from Germany? It's just one story from the 209 in Grimm's
Fairy Tales (《格林童话》). The Grimm brothers started to collect fairy tales in 1806. Their first book
came out in 1812.
Why are German fairy tales so interesting? Maybe it's because they come from a great place famous for
its stories-the Black Forest.
The Black Forest is in southwest Germany. It's the largest forest in the country-and one of the most
beautiful. It's famous for its trees and lovely views. There are valleys and waterfalls (瀑布) there. It's a good
place to start a story.
Don't forget to bring something back if you visit. People there are good at making clocks, musical
instruments and watches.
