My submission for the Fairy Tale theme... A scene from Bali's Ramayana:

In the end, Rama reaches the kingdom of the Demon King Ravana - who had earlier kidnapped his wife, Sita.

A fierce battle ensues and Ravana is slayed.

Rama and Sita are re-united. And they lived happily ever after :-)

(To be honest, this image was captured at the start of the play, before the couple was separated. You wouldn't have known if I didn't say so, would you?)
