Why do we love fairy tales? Because they tell truths in a beautiful and original way. And because they make us dream. Because they stimulate our imagination. And because they are unpredictable. Because they speak allegorically, making animals, plants, or objects behave like humans. Sometimes they satirize human arrogance, cruelty, lack of humanity, and other times they highlight good deeds, feelings of love, compassion, solidarity, and self-sacrifice. A modern fairy tale should also indirectly include some of the contemporary problems we face, such as the importance of the Sun for life on Earth, proper dietary habits, Ecology, and Career Orientation. The "Four Strange Stories" attempt to achieve exactly this composition with vividness and large doses of imagination.
