Give me some better Fairytales!

I love fairytales, folklore and old songs. But I am not always happy about how they end. Ok, the human prince gets his kingdom and a beautiful human princess, that's fine. But that is quite boring. I think it is more fascinating when some so called mythological creatures fall in love with humans or in each other. But those stories always have such a sad and cruel end.

Why couldn't Menninkäinen (pixie) have his Päivänsäde (kind of fairy) in the Finnish song?

Why couldn't the nice elf girl dance with Herr Olof and why couldn't they be happy ever after in the world of fairies?

Why couldn't the the loving Corpse Bride have his bridegroom and why couldn't they be happy ever after in the world of the dead? (Picture from the movie).


Why couldn't Agnete stay with her handsome waterspirit and make love the rest of her live instead of running away when hearing the churchbells?

Now - finally, thanks to my sweetheart - I got a new version of Menninkäinen and Päivänsade. Link

Now I can have some peace in my heart.
