Reading Options

While going through the Untextbook I was truly amazed at all the possibilities there are for me to read. It got me excited to learn about all of the different stories and where they originated. One of the first topics that caught my eye was the section about Native American Hero Tales considering I am from Oklahoma there is a very strong Native American heritage here. I also really enjoy stories about heroes because that means there must be a protagonist, and I love a solid good vs. bad story. Another area that caught my eye was the stories of the Buddha, I have always heard about Buddha but I truly do not know a lot about it so I thought this would be a good way to learn more about the past and present of the Buddha. From what I do know about the Buddha, he is positive and loving and peaceful which are all things good in my opinion. I also looked at The Heptameron stories, this caught my eye because it said she is a Queen and it says it talks about love and gossip and I would be lying if I said I did not love some drama and love stories. There are so many different options but these were just three that stood out to me today when I was browsing through the Untextbook.

Week 7 Story: How the Wolf Killed the Elephant

How the Wolf Killed the Elephant Once upon a time, in a jungle long ago there lived many animals that all got along peacefully, for the most part. The Elephant believed it was the most amazing animal to ever exist and the elephants required that everyday every animal had to bring them something to pay their respects, they most often were brought food. One day, the wolf was out basking in the sun near the lake and he was so content with himself that he decided he did not need to go and give the elephants an offering. The wolf continued to lie there until all the sudden he felt a large shadow come over him. When he looked up he saw the king elephant standing over him. "Do you think you are better than us?" asked the elephant. "No sir, I do not," replied the wolf. The wolf knew he had to come up with a story to explain why he did not bring an offering today.
