Introduction to Rhetorical Questions in Fairy Tales
Once upon a time, in a land filled with magic and mystery, a young princess asked herself, 'Is this truly my destiny?' Her question echoed through the castle halls, not expecting an answer, but urging her to think. She wondered, 'Would I ever find the courage to face my fears?'
