Modern Fairy Tales are children's stories with fairies, elves, gnomes etc involving evil witches/persons but have a happy ending. Many stories that we call fairy tales really have roots in very ancient oral traditions possibly going back as far as thousands of years. These traditions usually touch upon deep universal themes like fear, rights of passage, integrity, kingship, warrior courage, priesthood/shamanism, deception and manipulation. Aesop's Fables are included in this store of rich ancient wisdom/lore. Many of these tales and fables have anything but happy endings in some of their older and presumably more authentic versions.
Fantasy stories are usually modern stories, often based in one or more of the ancient traditions mentioned above. They include spectacular fanciful fictions, told in any possible setting including imagined ancient worlds, contemporary or futuristic Science Fiction, and anything in between. They are sometimes written to reflect a current world social or cultural dilemma. The original Star Trek series is an excellent example from popular culture, along with the writings of authors like Asimov, Herbert, Philip K. Dick, H. P. Lovecraft, Tolkein, C. S. Lewis, J. K. Rowling and many others.

Folktales from South America include legends and myths such as 'The Armadillo's Song' and 'The Young Cowherd.' 'The Rainbow Bird' and 'Jabuti the Tortoise: A Trickster Tale from the Amazon' are other South American folktales.
Myths are traditional stories occurring in a timeless past. They involve supernatural elements and are beyond the frontiers of logic. Long ago, when our ancestors heard the sound of thunder and saw lightening, they were frightened because they could not understand why these things happened. In order to understand these and other natural events, they created stories. The stories were handed down from generation to generation all around the world. On the other hand, legends, however, are stories about real people who are famous for doing something brave or extraordinary. Every time the story was told, it became more exaggerated and so it is now difficult to tell how much of the story is really true.
