Preschoolers think about people much better than is customary in the adult world, they are benevolent and are more likely to justify another than condemn. Psychologists from Wake Forest University (USA) read fairy tales to children aged 3–6 and offered to evaluate the actions of the characters, describing them as “evil” or “good”. A character who did a good deed only once was immediately called “kind” by the children. But to fall into the category of «evil», the hero had to do at least five bad deeds.
