Week 14 Reading Notes Jakarta Tales Part A


There was a mouse that found gold on a farmer's property. The mouse liked the farmer so everyday he would bring him a gold coin. The farmer would use these to buy a lot of meat and share with the mouse. One day, a cat saw what was happening and wanted to eat the now plump mouse. The mouse told the cat he would give him his share of meat if he would spare his life, which the cat did. Because the mouse kept giving the cat food, he lost weight. The farmer noticed and asked the mouse about this-to which the mouse told him what was happening with the cat. The farmer came up with a plan to put the mouse on a inkstand. When the cat ate the mouse, he died because of the inkstand, to which the mouse crawled out after.

The best class I took last semester was my Spanish class because it was one of the last general education credits I needed where I can not really pick the course topic. 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

(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
