Reading Notes Part B: Bidpai: The Hare, the Fox, and the Wolf

The hare, fox, and wolf. Source 

In this story, the hare is about to be eaten by the wolf! The hare thinks fast and tries to come up with a plan to prevent being eaten. She tries to get the wolf to be interested in eating the fox that constantly chases her. Her plan seems to be going along smoothly, but the fox is not fooled by her words. The fox has a trap in his home and traps both the wolf and the hare. The wolf ends up eating the hare and the fox runs away. 

In this story, I feel bad for the hare because all she wanted to do was get rid of her enemy and prevent being eaten. At the same time, she should have came up with a better plan so the fox didn't suspect anything.

I grew up speaking minimal Spanish, but I really wanted to study the language on a deeper level so I could communicate in Spanish more effectively, so that is why I am minoring in it.  Some of my favorite things include: Thrifting, ta

Week 3 Story: Adam and Eve Retold

Adam and Eve in the Garden: Source Adam was in the Garden of Eden happily and in communion with God. He had everything he needed, food, the river, the fields, the animals, and so much more. The only rule Adam has was to not eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and he obeyed. He was the caretaker of the garden and knew every living creature, but yet one thing was missing.  God wanted to create a companion for Adam of his kind, so he would never be alone and that he would have someone to help him. Out of Adam's rib, God created a woman named Eve. Eve was informed of the one rule of the Garden of Eden. She lived happily with Adam and with God, both naked and not ashamed.  One day Eve passed by the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the serpent caught Eve's attention. The serpent tempted Eve with a fruit from this tree. The serpent told Eve that she would not die if she ate from it and that she would acquire knowledge and be just like God. Eve took the frui
