Reading Notes: Part B: Giant Crab

Reading Notes: Part B: Giant Crab



Birds of a Feather: W. H. D. Rouse
I really like this line" It was hurry, skurry, worry". but other than that this story was mediocre. There are better stories for me to use for inspiration.

Spend a Pound to Win a Penny: W. H. D. Rouse
This story has a good moral as well. This would be good to turn into a rhyme. Pea and flee rhyme..  so that would be good to include in the tale.

The Cunning Crane and the Crab: W. H. D. Rouse
This story reminds me of the walrus and the carpenter but in this story, the crane gets what he deserves. I like this story and it would be a great addition to my stories. 

Union is Strength: W. H. D. Rouse
their strategy is like Nemo and instead of swimming down it is to fly up. I love the rebellion against man. It is sad they didn't win but it is still a great story and would be great to add to my own.

Silence is Golden: W. H. D. Rouse
I didn't like this story. He didn't sound traditional so his dad was like just don't talk. That is not a good message and not a story I would want to interpret into a rhyme

The Great Yellow King and his Porter: W. H. D. Rouse

The Quail and the Falcon: W. H. D. Rouse
I like the story but the message is odd. Don't try new things is a weird message.

Pride Must Have a Fall: W. H. D. Rouse
This is not my favorite story. I would prefer to write about others.

The Bold Beggar: W. H. D. Rouse

The Jackal Would A-Wooing Go: W. H. D. Rouse
I do not like this story. I don't like the woman needs to stay home part. I also don't appreciate how they are portraying that girl. She doesn't care her brothers died and is glad that there is 1 left only to bring her food is terrible.

The Lion and the Boar: W. H. D. Rouse
This story was ok. It is a low priority for me to write a rhyme but I do love the rhyme in the story "
Dirty Boar, I want no more,
You’re saved from being eaten;
If you would fight, I yield me quite,
And own that I am beaten!
When I read it it is in a sing song in my head.

The Goblin City: W. H. D. Rouse
I love this story. I wrote a rhyme about this story already. 

Lacknose: W. H. D. Rouse
This is a weird story but I like that the takeaway was honesty. I truly believe it to be the best policy and am probably too honest sometimes. This is a lower priority


The King's Lesson: W. H. D. Rouse
This is a fun story. I like that the kings questioned the honesty because he knew the power he held over others.

Week 7 Story: Your Worst Fear

Week 7 Story: Your Worst Fear Meme Authors Note: Source .   Indian Myth and Legend   by Donald A. Mackenzie (1913). I really liked the description of the monster in the tale, and it made me want to write a rhyme describing a monster in detail. I hope you enjoy!! How can one capture the horror? For this description is no snorer. I speak of a beast Who enjoys to feast. His hunger is only satisfied by the juicy flesh of many a human being. When mortal souls look upon him you know they are peeing. To give you an idea of his features that are so chilling. With simply a glance they could sure be killing. He is truly grim to behold. On him grows plenty of mold. Gazing into his blood red piercing eyes Could result in one’s demise. His skin was grey as ash, But he’s a messy eater so there is a red splash. With a mouth like a chasm, He uses his powerful jaws with enthusiasm. This mouth reeked of decay. This is from hi...
