According to the standard fairy tale narrative, they allegedly say that life started as some cells in the water and/or ocean, then multipled and got bigger, then grew legs and started walking allegedly .

Did they first grow legs, then walk around to different places, then become trees? Or did some sea creatures/mobile cells magically become algee and trees? How did the trees then get spread out across the world, if trees don't walk? Or do they claim that plants were the first life, then animals came from plants?

If plants came before animals, does that mean that plants transformed into animals?
