What's the difference between fairy tales and jokes? What is the connection between the two?

Fairy tale is a fictional story with strong fantasy in children's literature genre. Through rich imagination, fantasy, exaggeration and symbols, it shapes images, reflects life and educates children ideologically. Its language is popular and vivid, and its stories are often bizarre and interesting.

A joke refers to a sentence or a short story that makes both the speaker and the listener feel funny or produces a sense of humor. Another action-oriented joke is that action affects people's vision and perception, which makes people feel funny.

There seems to be no direct connection between the two, but many stories are both fairy tales and jokes.
