Once Upon a time....

have u ever wonder.... y when people want to tell a stry... some starts with once upon a time... ?? humm... y can they say last time... or long ago... y use 4 words when u can use 2 ??

once - at one time in the past

upon - on (in any of various senses, used as an equivalent of on with no added idea of ascent or elevation, and preferred in certain cases only for euphonic or metrical reasons)

a - each; every; per

time - duration regarded as belonging to the present life as distinct from the life to come or from eternity; finite duration.
