One of the most familiar Christmas stories is 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens. It tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly old man who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve. These ghosts show him his past, present, and future, and through this experience, he transforms into a kind and generous person. Another is the story of the Nativity, which is about the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem for a census, and Jesus is born in a stable because there is no room at the inn. Angels announce the good news to shepherds, and later, wise men follow a star to bring gifts to the baby Jesus.
Familiar Christmas stories can enhance the Christmas spirit in many ways. For example, 'A Christmas Carol' makes people reflect on kindness and generosity. When we read or hear about Scrooge's transformation, it reminds us to be more giving during Christmas. We might be inspired to donate to charities or be kinder to those around us.

Among them," Nian Nian Don't Want to Forget " and " Remember to Think of Me Before Sleeping " told the story of a man and a woman dating online. They met again a year later and finally got together. In general, these short stories could give girls a pleasant reading experience.
One common opening is 'Once upon a time...' which is often used in fairy tales. It immediately sets a story - telling mood and makes the listener or reader expect a fictional, often magical story. Another is 'In a small town...' which gives a sense of a specific setting right from the start. It can make the reader wonder what kind of people live in that town and what will happen there.
Some familiar childhood stories include 'Three Little Pigs'. Three pigs build houses of different materials - straw, sticks, and bricks. The wolf tries to blow down their houses, but only the one made of bricks stands strong. 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' is also popular. Goldilocks enters the bears' house, tries their porridge, chairs, and beds until the bears come home. And then there's 'Hansel and Gretel'. The two children are left in the forest by their stepmother, find a gingerbread house, but are trapped by the witch who lives there.
One benefit could be that they are easy to understand. Since we are already familiar with the stories, we don't need to spend a lot of time getting to know the plot and characters. Another benefit might be the sense of connection. Familiar stories can make us feel closer to our culture or heritage. For example, when we read fairy tales that we heard as a child, it brings back memories and a feeling of warmth.
Reading familiar stories is great for memory improvement. When we read something we already know, our brain recalls the previous knowledge and strengthens the neural connections related to that memory. It also aids in improving reading speed as we are more confident with the content, and we can breeze through the text more quickly than a completely new one.
In a far - away land can also be a common opening. It gives a sense of mystery and distance, making the audience curious about what is going to happen in this unknown place. It often leads to adventures and exploration within the story.
