Extra Reading Diary: More English Fairy Tales

Since I only have to do half of the reading, I’m just going to pick 7 stories to read that interest me, and I’ll write about the ones I like the most.

The Three Wishes:  How sweet of the man to spare the tree for a little fairy. Three wishes? oh my goodness.  That’s awesome.  Hahaha, I love that he wanted pudding.  Seriously, I don’t know how I would feel if I wasted three magical wishes on pudding.  At least they seem happy, though.  And at least the pudding was tasty!

King O’ the Cats:  Of course I had to write about this one.  I can never say no to a cat story.  Hahaha, okay, this story was cool.  So sad that Tim died, but at least Tom gets the chance to become King o’ the Cats! What a title!

The Old Witch: I feel like the bread, if it had been baking for 7 years, would be super burnt and probably unable to talk.  But I suppose it isn’t that weird since the bread is talking to the little girl in the first place.  

Never look up at the chimney? Wanna bet that they do? She got money?? What the heck kind of chimney is it??

Well that was a happy ending for the first girl!

Dang! Karma at it’s finest.

Molly Whuppie: They couldn’t feed all their children so they just left three of them for dead? What? Why wouldn’t they just send them to another family, or at least be humane about it instead of letting them just starve and suffer in the forest.  It’s weird how people exchange wealth for marriage.

Mr. Fox:  Lady Mary had two brothers and more lovers than she could count - I like her already.  

If she only cared for Mr. Fox, why have other lovers?

Mr. Fox is a serial killer? Wow, what a twist.  She pointed the hand at Mr. Fox? Geez.   That is pretty morbid.  Maybe I can make my storytelling about Mr. Fox’s point of view.  Or a re-telling somewhat of this story. -I married a serial killer story.

Mr. Miacca:  I could write a storytelling about a similar story of being kidnapped and escaping.  

Fairy Ointment:  Dame Goody got stolen! Whaaaat. Oh wow, ointment to make everything look perfect.  That is really cool and dangerous!

Well, at least he was nice enough to take her back.  People do really do anything for their kids.  

He blinded her! dang.  That’s what you get for stealing, I suppose.

Tom Tit Tot: Hahaha, I like that the story is based off of miscommunication.  Also, if my mom started singing loudly that I had just eaten five pies, I would be so embarrassed.  I want to get married just based on the fact that I can eat a lot! What a catch.  Riddles to stay alive, gotta love fairy tales.  Why would he shriek and run? Just because he lost?  Weird.

Binnorie: Shouldn’t the sister hate Sir William instead of her sister? It’s not the sister’s fault that he loves her! Though, maybe she shouldn’t have acted on his love. Hmmm.

She killed her sister?? What? She would just leave her sister for dead over a man? That’s what family is all about, eh?

That had kind of a creepy ending.

Cap o’ Rushes: What kind of father compares how much his daughters love him? That’s terrible.  The poor daughter.  Dang, this totally is a cinderella story!

How does a story like this get a happily ever after? She just forgave her father like that? Dang, she must be really mature.

The Story of the Three Little Pigs: He ate the pig? What?? Is this what it’s like to have your childhood ruined?  I totally thought all the pigs hid out in the brick house! Alive! My heart hurts.
