The Girl Monkey and the String of Pearls:

This is a really fun concept for a story and would be great to turn into a rhyme

The Three Fishes:

This is very short but would make a cute rhyme. I like how it portrays what happens if you don't think through your actions and are lazy.

The Tricky Wolf and the Rats:

This is a different version of the cat story I added to my website. I like this version but I prefer the other because cat and rats are a common pairing.

The Woodpecker, Turtle, and Deer:

This was cute. I hate that hunter lol. I could easily turn this into a rhyme for my storybook.

The Golden Goose:

This was ok story. I rather write about a different one. I also think that there should be karma for the mom.

The Stupid Monkeys:

I read this story already. It is strange but could be turned into a good story.

The Cunning Wolf:

I think this is an ok story for me to write a rhyme about but may have to have some alterations.

The Penny-Wise Monkey:

I read a version of this story already as well. I think it is a really good lesson to appreciate what you have and to look at the whole picture.

The Red-Bud Tree:

Not my favorite story but it is ok. I am curious how old these princes are.

The Woodpecker and the Lion:

I like this story except I would change the ending and have him have another bone in his throat and die because he was mean to the wood peaker

The Otters and the Wolf:

I wouldn't write a story about this iy=t is not a very good story
