So I went down a rabbit hole about fairy tale openings and it's actually insane

okay so I saw this and got super curious, like what if OTHER languages have their own weird opening lines for stories? So I went digging and bro. BRO. The stuff people came up with is actually poetic as hell.

"In den alten Zeiten, als das WΓΌnschen noch geholfen hat..."
Basically "back in the day when wishing still actually worked." Like imagine opening a story that way. The implication that wishes DON'T work anymore?? that's unhinged. I'm obsessed.
