Week 12 Reading Notes Part 2

The Fairy and the Hare

  • A young hare lived in a small forrest between a mountain, a village, and a rive and was the sweetest hare of all 
  • He was friends with a jackal, a water-weasel, and a monkey
  • Every night they would meet to talk and the hare would teach them many things
  • One day, the hare said that they should not eat but instead give the food they find to others
  • The jackal found a piece of meat and a jar of curdled milk
  • The water-weasel found the hiding place of a fisherman and took his golden fish
  • The monkey found some ripe mangoes
  • The hare did not find anything, and was sad because he had nothing to offer
  • Then he decided he would give them himself to eat
  • An all-knowing fairy lived nearby and changed herself into an old beggar man
  • She first went by the jackal, who offered her the stolen meat and milk 
  • She then walked by the water-weasel and the monkey, who offered her their food as well
  • Finally, she walked by the hare who offered himself up and told her to make a fire 
  • She made magical flames, but when he jumped in they did not burn him

Introduction to Carly the Future Counselor

Image
Hi! My name is Carly Capulli and I am a junior at the University of Oklahoma. I will be graduating this December, with a major in child psychology and a minor in Spanish. Personally, I think that my major is really interesting. I get to study how the mind works and why people are the way that they are, with a specific focus on children. I absolutely love kids! I have known since I was a child that I would one day work with children in some way, and that has never changed. I have never even changed my major! After attending graduate school, my ultimate goal is to become a trauma counselor for children in the foster care system. Last semester was tough for everyone I can imagine, however I did feel very accomplished in that I achieved A's in every one of my classes, with all of them being fully online. 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

Week 11 Story: The Restaurant Owner

Lily and her mother were incredibly poor. They were all on their own, living in downtown New York City, with no family or friends nearby. Lily's father had left when she was only a baby, and her mother had trouble keeping a job. She had never gone to college and did not have much experience in the working world. Therefore she typically had to work at least two jobs just to make ends meet. They lived in a small, dirty apartment behind a hamburger restaurant. It always smelled of grease and drew in bugs and rodents. Lily knew they were poor, however she loved her mom and knew they would be okay. She often went to school in clothes that were far too small. The other kids often made fun of her for the way that she looked or the way that she smelled. These things hurt Lily, but she never complained to her mother because she did not want her to feel bad that she could not provide for them.  One day, the owner of the hamburger restaurant caught a glimpse of Lily coming home from school. &
