Summary/Abstract: The article briefly presents directions in the interpretation of folk tales and their connection to fairy tales as part of building (national) culture. The article’s focus is on the didactic function of both folk and fairy tales. Therefore, two comparisons show the similar function for both category of tales. A first comparison is for the category of fantastic tales, between the folk tale, “Voinicul florilor”, collected by I. Gr. Sbiera, and the fairy tale “Făt frumos din lacrimă”, by Mihai Eminescu. In the short-story-like tale category, the comparison is between the folk tale Stan Pățitul, collected by Ion Pop Reteganul, and the fairy tale “Dănilă Prepeleac”, by Ion Creangă.
