It has been used in some form since at least 1380 (according to the Oxford English Dictionary) in storytelling in the English language and has opened many oral narratives since 1600 . These stories often then end with "and they all lived happily ever after", or, originally, "happily until their deaths". </P> <P> The phrase is particularly common in fairy tales for younger children, where it is almost always the opening line of a tale . It was commonly used in the original translations of the stories of Charles Perrault as a translation for the French "il était une fois", of Hans Christian Andersen as a translation for the Danish "der var engang", (literally "there was once"), the Brothers Grimm as a translation for the German "es war einmal" (literally "it was once") and Joseph Jacobs in English translations and fairy tales . </P>
