Reading Diary B - Tibetan Folk Tales

For this reading diary, I am finishing reading Tibetan Folk Tales.

How the Rabbit Killed the Lion - This story shows how wits and brains will always be able to help you much more than strength and pure force, since the wits kept the rabbit alive and the force is what caused the lion to drown.

The Three Hunters - This story shows what happens when you let jealously get the best of you.  Jealousy is a nasty trait that can either inspire you to do better or convince you to do evil things.

How the Raven Saved the Hunter - At least the hunter thought and was able to realize the raven did not want him to drink the water before it was too late.  It was very foolish of the hunter to just strike out at the raven like he did.

The Golden Squash - This story shows what happens when you try to get too much of something for the wrong reasons.  It will come back to haunt you in the end.

The Man With Five Friends - Sometimes your parents do know what they are talking about, even if it sounds like they are just talking crazy.  This is what happened here and it caused the man to become elected an official.

The Violinist - In this story those who asked too much were eventually punished.  The king was an evil so it was fitting that the violinist was able to take control of the kingdom.

How the Sacred Duck Got His Yellow Breast - This is a very interesting way as to which the duck got his yellow breast.

The Two Little Cats - This story shows the power of team work and what you can accomplish if you work together.

How the Wolf, the Fox and the Rabbit Committed a Crime - This story is a perfect example of if you want to do something, you will have to do it yourself.  For the rabbit did everything himself in terms of distributing the items and he ended up with the best option.

A Rabbit's Story - This story is full of mean and spiteful things that happened to everyone else.  I understand why he did those things to the bears but not to everyone else.  The young rabbit was just a mean person.

The Man and the Monkeys - This story clearly and plainly shows that you need to, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.  For if you are mean to people, they will come back and be mean to you.
