Question

    Do you remember when your grandma told you the story of Snow White? Ah, the happy days of childhood!

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 (风景). There are valleys and waterfalls(瀑布) there.  It's a good place to start a story.
