Reading Notes: Tibetan Folk Tales, Part A
This week I decided to read the Tibetan Folk Tales
I like the approach of reading all of the stories, but specifically looking at my favorites. This way I can read more in depth about what I like and then write about it too!
The Tiger and the Frog
It seems as if the frog has tricked the tiger. I see what the frog is doing here. An interesting part of the story is at the very beginning. It talks about how this story was when animals all understood each others languages. This would be a cool concept to write about. I could take this small line and write about how animals began to create their own language. It would show an evolution as to why they are needing separate languages and I could be very creative in my writing. I like this idea! The tiger is just scared of everything. This story turned out differently than I had originally imagined. I hope that the frog is only intimidating and not truly mean.
How the Fox Fell Victim to His Own Deceit
The title of this story drew me in. Foxes are very deceitful and cunning. They are able to manipulate others in order to get what they want. The mother has some nice last words. Being friends with your siblings is an important concept that many people don't follow or are unable to do. I have a feeling that the fox will say that they are friends but will continue to try to deceive the calf. The fox is taking advantage of the tiger and calf, and he is manipulating both of them. Wow this story ended abruptly and viciously. They killed the fox and ate him. I guess he truly did fall to his own deceit.

These were my two favorite stories from the first portion of the reading. I really enjoy when readings involve animals, so I knew that I would like this reading section.
