Week 11 Reading Notes

 The Golden Goose 

  • There was goose who had golden feathers
  • The goose lived near a mother and a daughter who were very poor
  • He thought to himself that he would sometimes give them one of his feathers to sell and they would be able to live comfortably
  • Time went on and the mother and daughter sold the feathers and lived comfortably
  • The mother feared that one day the goose would never return and they would go back to living poorly
  • Therefore the mother devised a plan to pluck all the goose's feathers the next time he came
  • When he came, the mother held him down and pulled out every one of his feathers
  • Little did she know that if the feathers are plucked out against the goose's wishes, they turn white and no longer carry value 
  • As time went on, the goose grew more feathers but never returned again

This taught me that I am very self-disciplined and can work on my own quite well.  I do not read much and I hardly have the patience to sit through a movie, but I do have many favorite...

The Cheetah and the Impala: Week 2 Story

Updated story can be found at: https://sites.google.com/view/carlypotfolio/  A large, fast Cheetah ruled the desert in Africa. He was getting very frustrated because all of the animals kept hiding from him. He was so hungry, and decided that he needed to devise a plan to trap his prey.

"Warn us about what?" asked the Hares.  "The Lions are coming to kill you! I want to protect you! I can get you out of here quickly!" replied the Cheetah.  "Why should we trust you? You want to eat us!" shouted the Hares.  "I have had a change of heart and I want to protect all who live in the desert." lied the Cheetah.  The Hares were far too dumb to understand the Cheetah's deceit and far too scared to think it over. In groups of three, the Hares climbed onto the back of the Cheetah and let him carry them away. However...
