Gita in Fairy tales

Lets see what is common across some popular fairy tales.

1. Cinderella - she is hardworking & polite & truthful ...life gets difficult for her but she stays happy with what she has ....and lo behold she gets fairy Godmother to help and a very happy ending.

2. Snow White - she too is polite, hardworking & caring ....losses her Mom but not her smile....when thrown out of the palace she cares for the forest animals & the dwarfs. And the seven dwarfs look after her and later protect her from the wicked witch as well. And again a happy ending.

3. Beauty & the Beast .... Bella is sincere, faithful, keeps her promise ....she marries & stays with the beast to keep her promise, falls in love with the beast as she senses the good person behind the ugly face . And her life has a happy ending too.

All the fairy tale characters who have good virtues, don't leave their good virtues in difficult times and they keep their faith in themselves & God and the end is happy. Yes the Princesses had to face problems but they were patient and did not loose their faith and continued to do their best in their respective situations.

Gita says do your duty, be truthful, do no harm and believe you are a part of God. Gita talks about doing our duty with commitment & love and leaving the result in hands of God.

Did the above Princesses do that??? I think so...what do you think??

Any other story that you know which has a similar story line??? Please share .
