Two Frogs
I liked how chance brought the two frogs together. They seemed
like they would be good friends just based on their interactions. It made me
sad that they never truly got to travel to their destinations. In their minds,
they saw what they believed.
The Stonecutter
It is refreshing that the stonecutter was content with his
position in life for a time. It is sad that he was granted a wish and then was
not happy, so he kept wishing for more and more. I thought it was humorous that
he demanded more and more and was finally returned to his original state as a
man with the same occupation- a stonecutter.
The Maiden with the Wooden Helmet
It is depressing that someone could become so upset over the
loss of material goods that they just lay down in their bed and die. Why would
the mother be so desperate to conceal the daughter’s beauty? How did rumors of
her beauty spread if no one had ever realized how beautiful she was? I liked
that the wooden helmet shattered into jewels, but even those didn’t even
compare to the bride’s beauty.
The Envious Neighbor
It is sad that the
neighbor killed this couple’s dog simply out of envy. Although, the good that
comes from that act is slightly rewarding, but not compared to the loss of
companionship. I thought it was touching that the dog came to the man in a dream.
I loved that the dog still blessed the owners after death and condemned the
neighbor after, as well.
