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 2 Story: The Caterpillar and the Three Worms

Image
There was once a small caterpillar who lived together with three worms in the meadow. Many other insects and small animals also lived among this meadow. The caterpillar lived her whole life feeling left out because it did not look like the other worms. Even though the caterpillar felt this way, she tried its best to have a positive mindset and tried to accept her unique differences. The caterpillar was always taught that because she was different, she would have to choose to "die" one day by forming something called a cocoon when she has served her purpose in life. This purpose was to be selfless and to help anyone that came across her way. This scared the caterpillar, but nevertheless she knew it was her duty in life.  One day the three worms and the caterpillar were visited by a beautiful monarch butterfly, a creature that kept the meadow and its creatures safe. "I have a task for each of you young creatures." the monarch said. "I need you to take a journey t...
