The romance of stories

When I was a young child,I was fanscinated with listening to stories.Every night at that time,I must fall asleep accompanied by the sweet voice of my mother,which softly narrated some kind of stories.
As a little girl,What I favored most are definitely fairy tales. I remember there were always a princess and a prince,and the princess wound always be saved by the handsome prince.Furthermore,near all this kind of stories wound end up with princess and prince living happlily forever.As a innocent result,I gradually got fully used to such endings,and thus instinctively got so dissapointed when the the Little Mermaid died in the end in the daughter of the sea that I refused to accept the disturbing finality.Though at present I am aware that the daughter of the sea has been a terrific success of tales tradegy,I wounldn't judge a story in such an reasonably objective manner when I was only 4 or 5 years old.
I didn't care about whether it make sense during the naive childhood,but purely hunt for fairy tales with a pleasant happy ending,whatever how the plots developed in the body,in hope of falling into a as sweet dream as the happy story.

As time went by,the little girl have grown up,and can smoothly get to sleep with no sweet whisper in my ears.I have read and watched a numeber of storis that are regarded as sad tragedies,well understanding the charms lying in the miserable words and sentences.
Nevertheless,I still discovered some thing in common among such a diversity of stories,that is the romance through the whole narrative,which means a feature somewhat unrealistic but full of unexpected plots.
In the end,by the way,do you notice that my English name doris is just a converse of the punctuation of story?It's such a coincidence that rather amazed me several days ago.
