There were three
stories from the Persian Tales that stuck out to me in the first half of the
reading. Two I really thought were cool stories, and the other I thought was
super twisted. I didn’t really care for it; it is too twisted to not write
about.
This story is about a mother goat,
her four kids, and a wolf. The mother goes out for food and warns the kids
about the wolf and told them to be carful. The wolf still managed to trick the
kids, and stole three of the four. The mother goat returned to find only one,
and went to go confront the wolf. She ended up killing the wolf by out smarting
him. The wolf took the shortcut, and the lazy way; it ended up costing him his
life. Very short and enjoyable read!
I loved this story! The main
character killed two mice, and spread a rumor that it was two LIONS. Talk about
a fisherman’s lie. What was even better was that he started to believe he was a
badass! A knight heard about him and hired him in the army. When the boy was in
war, he lost control of his horse and was screaming (I am sure out of fear),
and the enemies took it at some battle cry and fled in terror; furthermore, the
king appointed him head over the army. The kid climbed the ranks so fast and
did absolutely nothing to earn it. For some reason I found it so funny that it
worked out so well for him.
This was the weird story! It is
about boy who died and turned into a bulbul (bird). His stepmother said the boy
and his father should see who could gather more wood, and the loser would be
beheaded! The boy won, and while he wasn’t looking the dad stole some of his.
The dad beheaded his son and took it to the stepmother, who than cooked his
severed head!! His sister buried him and he rose as a bird. I am sure this had
some neat meaning, but I cant get over the whole head chopped off and then cooked
thing!
