Reading Notes: Indian Fairy Tales


Lion and Crane
Source: Un-Textbook
For my story notes this week I chose to do them over Indian Fairy Tales. This reading is a multiple different stories within one reading. Each story is different and has its own setting and plot line. Two of the stories that stood out to me were "The Lion and the Crane" and "The Tiger, The Brahman, and the Jackal." These two stories are both similar in content. Both of the stories have an animal known to kill who are saved by someone or something else and does not return any favor for saving the beast. In “The Lion and the Crane” a crane saves a lion from choking on a bone and the lion says to the crane his reward is him not being eaten. In “the Tiger, Brahman, and the Jackal” the Brahman saves a tiger from a cage but the tiger says he’s going to eat the Brahman after he got out. The tiger then had to be tricked back into the cage to save the Brahman’s life. I think it would be a great turn around to make a new story with the same concept but change the ending to where the Lion or Tiger actually rewards the savior.

Chemical engineering is a really amazing degree because there are almost endless possibilities on what career paths that you can take with it and because of this i'm excited to see where this path takes me for my future career. When I'm not studying hard at school I'm usually at the gym working out. Working out is a big hobby of mine, and i enjoy doing it very much.
