Most of the classic Fairy Tales were written down in the early 1800's. Since that time, they have been told and retold in various adaptations. In the late fifties and early sixties, humorous animated versions were shown as part of the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon show and called Fractured Fairy Tales. These were usually shaggy-dog anecdotes based around puns like Cutie and the Beast or Leaping Beauty and proved to be very popular. Capitalizing on that notoriety, it is possible to find fraction fairy tales which is a way, like any other word problem, to make the study of mathematics less abstract/more approachable and poses questions like, "If Grumpy is one seventh of the dwarfs, what percentage is that?"
