Reading Diary A - Persian Tales

For this reading diary part A, I decided to read Persian Tales.

The Wolf and the Goat - I enjoyed this story for the moral that the story shared.  It shows the gifts you give out are the ones you receive in turn.

The City of Nothing-In-The-World - This was a very interesting story, but it was a little long-winded. That made it seem like a lot was being thrown at the reader at once.  However, it was a very imaginative story to read.

Susku and Mushu - This was a sad story.  Susku and Mushu we're so happy in the beginning, however it did seem like Susku was carried by the wind easily and also was put into water by the wind very easily as well.

The Boy Who Became Bulbul - This was a sad story, for I do not know what kind of parents would kill and eat their own son.  Obviously it is a tale, nothing else, but I do not know what the purpose behind the tale is.

The Wolf-Aunt - This story, while on the dramatic side, is a great way to explain the idea that you should always pay attention to those who you love.  For they do know what is best for you sometimes.

Nim Tank or, Half-Boy - This story is a great lesson, that you should always love those in your family, no matter how they are connected to you.

Muhammad Tirandaz, The Archer - This story tells the story of how you should follow your dreams, and how it will allow you to accomplish things you could have never imagined before.

The Praying Baker - This story was confusing for the fact that I did not understand why the King decided to test the Baker by giving him the ring worth so much.  I know that sometimes it can be good to have a test of faith, but that seemed like the wrong way to go about it.

The Sad Tale of the Mouse's Tail - This was certainly a sad tale because the mouse never was able to have his tail sewn back on.  I am certain that he misses his tail quite a lot.
