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.

Alaskan lights Source:  Wikimedia Once upon a time there were seven brothers who all lived in Alaska with their mom. All the brothers loved to play a game called hopscotch. The boys loved this game so much that they would often miss or be very late to dinner because they would be playing it for so long. The boys missing dinner so much really aggravated the mother because food would go cold and sometime wasted. So one day for dinner the mom was making rice and beans and put some mud inside the dish which is what the kids used to created their hopscotch board. So when the kids came to eat that day and ate the food they immediately spit it out and ask the mother what was in it. the mother told them she put mud in it because they love playing hopscotch so much and missing dinner, so they can have hopscotch for dinner. This stunt the mom pulled angered the brothers so they all ran outside and started to do the feather dance and ask the spirits to be taken away to a new place so s...
