Understanding Affect and Effect in Fairy Tales

Once upon a time, in a enchanted kingdom, the spell cast by the sorcerer had a profound effect on the landscape, transforming it into a land of shimmering lights and shadowed forests. The prince's kind words did little to affect the wicked queen's resolve, but the magical mirror reflected her true intentions. The hero's courage affected everyone in the village, inspiring hope where despair once reigned.
