Fairy tales are obliged to follow certain conventions. For instance, the language must be old fashioned. The characters must be archetypal, which is to say, somewhat two-dimensional. And the story must have a moral at the end. It might not be a particularly useful moral for everyday modern readers; it might not even seem a moral moral. (Exhibit A: "The Blue Belt," whose moral appears to be either, "It's better to be the person who picks up the magic item than the person who leaves it lie," or, "Murder is monstrous in trolls but A-OK when done by the hero of the fairy tale.") All the moral has to be is present.
I imagine this story being one of a collection called The Green Book of Hollywood Tales. (There would also be a blue book, most of whose stories would feature limousines. Because "blue book." Never mind.)
