故事閱讀通常聚焦在發現意思，因為這是教學進行重要的一部分。但原型理論以不同的方式了解故事。本文應用原型理論觀點探討六個故事，這六個故事是The Salad、The Nose、Cherry or the Frog-Bride、Jorinda and Jorindel、The Crows and the Soldier、和The Blue Light，六個故事全取自於格林兄弟Brothers Grimm (1996)的Grimms' Fairy Tales這本書。討論完六個故事後，會提供一些問題，方便教師在教室故事的應用，學生也能有機會使用另一種方式理解故事和了解自己。

When one reads a story, it is typical for one to discover the tale's meaning. It is commonly thought that this is one important aspect of teaching. Archetypal theory directs one to an alternative way to understand a story. This paper will examine six stories from the archetypal viewpoint. These six tales are The Salad, The Nose, Cherry or the Frog-Bride, Jorinda and Jorindel, The Crows and the Soldier, and The Blue Light, all taken from Brothers Grimm's (1996) Grimms' Fairy Tales. It is beneficial to include one more way to understand a story. So, this paper will provide some questions after the six stories are analyzed. A teacher can then enhance his or her application of a tale in a classroom. Students can also have a chance to better understand a story and themselves.
