The remainder of the Tibetan Folk Tales unit was
interesting. I noticed a trend to all
the stories, which was that some character in the story always died! Sometimes
it was the villain and sometimes it was the main character.
There didn’t seem to be any honest morals to the story that
could transfer to real life. With many
of the stories, the person who committed villainous deeds was actually the one
who benefited the most from his actions. In How the Wolf, the Fox and the Rabbit Committed a Crime, this was
exactly what happened. The three
characters stole a man’s things and divided the profits between them. The rabbit divided the goods, giving the wolf
the heavy boots that got him killed and the rabbit a bell that seriously
frightened his children, while the rabbit got food!
While these stories were great, they definitely won’t work
for my storybook. I didn’t even find any
general ideas that could transfer, although that may be because the stories
were so short.
