In modern society, folktales are regarded as children's entertainment. Most of them served the purpose to spread out a moral or a lesson by using simple and effective narrative structures. Personally, I think two of the most wide-ranging fables are <<The little pigs>> and <<Little red ridding hood>>. The reason why they can be known by most of people in the world is the stories' moral that is made clear by the simplicity of the structure. This is a very smart and efficient method that only introduces the elements that are essential to understand the moral. Also, there are one similarity and two differences between two fables.

Then, finally, the two younger pigs were eaten by the wolf. The same thing happened in the <<Little red ridding hood>>. When Little...
