The Pretty Stranger who Killed the King - The line at the end really is what summarizes what the story is trying to show. Even if you think someone is the most beautiful person on the outside, you do not know what they are like on the inside. Thus you have to get to know the person before wanting to spend the rest of your life with them.
Why the Bat Flies at Night - This was an interesting story, and also shows what happened when you are misinformed. If you are doing something new, you always have to know what you are going to do.
The Disobedient Daughter Who Married a Skull - This is similar to the first story, in that the story says that you should really get to know the person who you want.
The King Who Married the Cock's Daughter - This was an interesting story. I can't imagine what the cock's daughter would have looked like to have the king marry her. Though you can't get mad at someone for doing what only seems natural to them.
The Woman, The Ape, and the Child - This story's interesting, but also it showed what happens when you let your anger get the best of you.
The Fish and the Leopard's Wife - This was certainly a strange story, but that is also what happens when you lust after something that is not supposed to be yours.
Why The Worms Live Underneath The Ground - All of these stories are creation stories, or stories about how animals are living the way they are. These are always interesting to read based on each culture.
The Elephant and the Tortoise - This was certainly a unique story that included a cunning animal, and an animal that needed to learn a lesson. I think this is a characteristic for all cultural folk tales.
Why Hawk Kills Chicken - This was a sad story that the young rooster could not jus try to get his own instead.
Why The Sun and the Moon Live in the Sky - I think these cultural folk tales are always fascinating because there is always a unique answer for why something is the way it is.
Why Cat Kills Rats - The poor cat, he just wanted to have his own way in the world and the rat would not let him.
