The Antelope and the Leopard
- Interesting how a dog jumped out from the nut
- Animals, talking theme
- Plot progresses quickly once the dog jumps out.
- Kind of weird how the leopard immediately took orders from the dog turned damsel because she was so beautiful; then, by demand he killed all of his wives. This may be a part I change up a bit
- Quick "love"
- I had a feeling damsel was actually the antelope.
- Also interesting how the ending relates to reasons we don't often think about. "And this is why the leopard now always kills the antelope when he meets one"
The Turtle and The Man
- Right off the bat, it's different but cool how the story sets up a relationship between a man and a turtle.
- Can both communicate to each other
- Diets - antelope
- Turtle seems to be the "bad guy." selfish, sneaky, mischievous
- Turn of events when the leopard was able to play the turtle's game
- Intriguing how the man came in at the very end. I was wondering where he went and thought the story would mainly be about both of them but it was mostly just about the turtle.
- I could retell it, having the man be more apart of the story line
- Although short, I really liked this story
- Story of a mother giving up her three children and later reuniting with them
- Instead of anything terrible, they took her in and cared for her
- I think if I were to retell this story I would definitely either add more of a background story with the mother being the main character, or add more of a story for the three brothers. Possibly more about their lives growing up and then more dialogue when finding their father and mother, too.
