Reading Notes: Part B, More Jataka Tales

The Lion In Bad Company: The theme of this story is one that I live my everyday life by. Bad company produces bad morals. I think it would be fairly easy to create a fairy tale from this Jataka. It could be my first story told about a prince instead of a princess. A prideful young prince can receive bad advice from someone he think she can trust. The king can try to warn him that the idea is not good, but the prince lets his pride take control and follows through with his bad idea any way. Making the wrong choice will seem promising for a short while, but then when trouble comes knocking the "Friend" disappears, leaving the prince to pick up the pieces.

Beauty and Brownie: This story has a theme of paying close attention when wise people give instruction. I can't think of a better character to miss directions than a princess who think she knows everything. The Jatakas make it a little harder to add on to my already existing stories, but they can make for short stories to use since I should be finishing my project soon.

Hello there!! My name is Briana (Bri-aw-nuh), but to keep it simple you can call me Bri! I am an Entrepreneurship Major, and I LOVE it. The way I love to describe my major is that its the "fun" business major. It's all about being creative, thinking outside the box, and solving problems in the real world through a product or service!

I went into my major blindly, but I can't imagine studying anything else.  Since we just got done with summer break I think a lot of who I am is summed up by what I did this summer! I got the amazing opportunity to live in the mountains of Colorado investing into the lives of 16 year olds while walking through scripture with them. I basically got paid to pretend like I was in high school again, and got to do fun things like hike, zip-line, bowl, and so many other things. To change things up a bit I'll provide my summer video that I compiled!...

Week 6 Story: Sleeping Aurrie

Once upon a time, in another land far far away was a king named Hubert. King Hubert was one of the greatest men alive. Not only did his people adore him for his kingship, but they also adored him for his selfless, king hearted mentality. King Hubert was a great king and husband, but he knew he'd be an even greater father.  For years him and his wife were trying to conceive, but time after time they were unable to. King Hubert refused to accept defeat. In the middle of the night he snuck away to go visit Mal, the witch of the kingdom. Mal had nappy, greasy black hair, a wart the size of a tomato on the side of her nose, and her skin was a slight tint of green. When king Hubert arrived Mal knew there was something up, the king barely even acknowledged her most days. The king began to explain his and his wife's troubles and Mal grew angry inside. She knew where the conversation was going and thought to herself: "How dare this man expect anything from me when he has neve...
