Reading Notes: The Cruel Crane Outwitted Part A
Bibliography: The Cruel Crane Outwitted
In this story, there is a crane that was watching over a small pond of fish. The pond was drying up very rapidly. The crane told the fish that there was another large pond and he could take them to the pond to have a better life. The fish, of course, did not believe him as he had built his reputation on eating fish. To gain their trust, the crane took one fish to the pond, let him swim, and brought him back to tell the others how great it was. The fish then believed him. The crane took the fish one by one and ate them after gaining their trust. When all the fish were gone, the crane turned his sights on a crab. The crab was not as easy to trick. He had a plan to prevent being eaten. The crab said that he would hold onto the crane's neck with his amazing grip on the trip. The crane agreed. The crane then started taking him to the location where he ate the fish. The crab then used his claws to cut his head off. The moral is that the deceiver will run out of luck eventually and meet his match. This would provide a great storytelling opportunity. I would like to tell a story with different characters and a similar plot line. My only hesitation about writing for this reading is that I wrote a story based on a similar reading for the Indian Epics class last semester. Is till think I could write an even different story, but I would like to try something different. Perhaps I could find a way to tie in an OU theme into this story.
