Reading Diary B: Aesop (Winter)

Aesop for Children (Winter)

The Peacock and the Crane:

I really like this story and the message it brings. The first thing I thought of when reading this was Wicked the broadway musical. I think it would be a fun take on the two stories by combing them together. I keep hearing the song Defying Gravity while thinking of different ways to rewrite the story.

The Mouse and the Weasel:

I thought this story was pretty funny. One could go into many directions to create an entirely new story with the same theme concept. I also like how blunt the Weasel was towards the Mouse. 

The Dog and the Oyster:

I like this story because it relates back to the Mouse and the Weasel story. I'm all about learning from mistakes and these stories do a great job about showing how one can learn from failure. There are endless possibilities to combine this story with the Mouse and the Weasel to create an epic narrative on how not to be greedy.
