Additional information

In English, the noun "tale" means a story or narrative. However, in Italian, "tale" does not have this meaning; it is completely different. For "story" in Italian, the word is "racconto" or "favola".

Thus, don't confuse Italian "tale" (such/that) with English "tale" (story).
