February 26th is Tell A Fairy Tale Day. In honor of many fairy tales' opening and closing lines, choose one of following options:

Option A: Once Upon a Time
Read a book with one of the following words in the title or subtitle: Once, Upon, Time. Plurals, possessives, and compound words work, but no other variations are allowed.

Option B: Happily Ever After
Read a book with one of the following words in the title or subtitle: Happily, Ever, After. Plurals, possessives, and compound words work. Variations will also work for this option (i.e. "happy" will work for "happily").

Optional: Tell us all what your favorite fairy tale is and why.

I think "every" is too different from "ever", so no, it will not work

No to option A, but your choice for option B will work.
