The Elves section from the Grimm (Ashliman) unit was my
favorite from the first half. It had a happy ending which was a very nice surprise
considering it is a Grimm fairy tale. This unit in general was as dark as I was
expecting it to be, but I was not expecting to have a story that was so cheerful
and without and conflict. The story had such and simple and pleasant plot. The old man was blessed tremendously by the
elves and he was so thankful too! He never forgot where his fortune came from,
and when he realized that the elves had nothing, he and his wife returned the
blessings to the elves. I am really curious about the elves, and I wonder what
their motive was to help in the first place. I would like to think that they
saw the situation the man was in, and just wanted to help without anything in
return. I just liked the picture of love this little story created. I do not
know if I am reading into this too deep, but I feel that this is how the world
should be. We should look to bless others and always remember who has blessed
us, and constantly be thankful and charitable.
