-Well, the Arabian Nights are generally accepted as fariy tales as far as I know and Sinbad's tales are sometimes placed among the Arabian Nights.

-The Grimm are more a reason for Hunters to exist then anything really cautionary or intrinstic to the story. If there's a cautionary thing here, its that " the evil inside humanity is more deadly than any outside force."

-Those tales were the protaganist disobeys someone in authority over them and recieve punishment for it are primarily cautionary tales, even if the punishment happens years later like in the one where the boy became a thief even though his mother kept warning him that he would die hanging. The ones where the two elder siblings aren't clever, haven't been kind, do something wrong, but the protaganist does it correctly are partially cautionary tales and partially pure fairy tale and those usually have happy endings. The ones where its the simple one that recieves the happy ending are pure fairy tales, though its showing the lesson that the Lord brings up the lowly to have power over the mighty.

You can generally tell the differene just by how its structured and what the protaganists do of their own accord.
