Week 14 Reading Notes: Jakarta Tales


The Foolish, Timid Rabbit
In this story, the rabbit awakes to a coconut hitting the ground. The rabbit does not know this is a coconut, so he begins to run out of fright. He passes other rabbits and animals telling them of the earth is breaking inaccurately because of the coconut. The word passed on from animal to animal, scaring everyone. Eventually word got to the Lion, who was "brave" enough to check the area. He went to the spot the rabbit was at when the coconut fell. He realized it was nothing and told the rabbit he was foolish to believe so and get everyone caught up.

The class was interesting and informative, but finally finishing it alleviated some stress.  I have recently been reading Michelle Obama's recent book 'Becoming'. It is quite popular right now it seems and I received it as a Christmas gift. So far I love it!  I've always been fascinated with her journey and hearing it from her words is lovely. I have a lot of favorite food, but my favorite food would

Week 2 Story: The Trustworthy Crane

Image
(photo of Crazy Legs Crane Cartoon, can be sourced  here ) The most current version of this story can be obtained on my Portfolio page which can be seen  here . Once upon a time existed a zoological aquatic habitat consisting of fish, lobsters, jellyfish, sea turtles, and more that varied in colors, shapes, and sizes. While happy for being well-fed and well taken care of, many of these creatures still yearned to see beyond the the realms of their zoo captivity. It so happened that a month prior, the aquatic habitat was moved to the other side of the facility to make room for new primate installation. It should also be noted that animals were used to eating prepared meals so they did not eat each other. Such a concept was considered cannibalism and absurd. The new placement helped the aquatic creatures to have more interaction with 'freed' animals.  One day, a crane somehow found its way to the edge of the pool. The crane asked, "My, my, what a set up. But t
