Fairy Tale
A fairy tale (alternative names include fairytale, fairy story, magic tale, or wonder tale) is a short story that belongs to the folklore genre. Such stories typically feature magic (paranormal), magic, incantation, enchantments, and mythical or fanciful beings. In most cultures, there is no clear line separating myth from folk or fairy tale; all these together form the literature of preliterate societies. Fairy tales may be distinguished from other folk narratives such as legends (which generally involve belief in the veracity of the events described) and explicit moral tales, including beast fables. In less technical contexts, the term is also used to describe something blessed with unusual happiness, as in "fairy-tale ending" (a happy ending) or "fairy-tale romance (love), romance".

Götterspeise
''Götterspeise'' (literally: ''dish / fare of the gods'') is the German name for a dessert made of gelatine or other gelling agent, sugar, flavourings and food colouring, it is similar or identical to jelly or jello and other gelatin desserts. Other German names include ("wobbly pudding") or ("Wobbly Peter"); green ''Götterspeise'' is also known as ("frog jelly"). ''Götterspeise'' is usually eaten with whipped cream or vanilla sauce. The best-known flavours are the following: * Woodruff (''Waldmeister'') – green * Raspberry (''Himbeere'') – red * Cherry (''Kirsche'') – red * Lemon (''Zitrone'') – yellow The green ''Götterspeise'' is not coloured with woodruff, the latter only gives the dessert its characteristic aroma.

A special type of ''Götterspeise'' is the triple-layered and three-coloured (red, yellow and green) ''Ampelpudding'' ("traffic light pud ...
