Reading Notes: Part A, Jataka Tales

The Ox Who Won The Forfeit: Overall theme that encouragement is a better tool to use than intimidation when it comes to leadership. My last Cindiarella story ends with the evil stepmother taking over the kingdom. My final story can have the stepmother playing the role of the ox owner who is uses his authority in a bad way. The Kingdom would be upset with the switch in power and the king and his daughter can create a resistance that can overthrow the queen. At the end of the story the king and his daughter can resume their rightful place at the thrown, thus showing that an encouraging leader is desired more. I could even possibly bring back Steve and Ella to help them gain the kingdom back!

The Ox Who Envied The Pig: I loved the theme from this story. Its the typical "things aren't as they appear." I feel like its so easy for us to lose sight of what really matters and be envious of the things that we really don't fully understand. I think if I wanted to ditch my series it would be very easy to create a fairytale with a villager who envies the princess and just wants to be her, but when she takes over the role- she wishes she never had. It could be like the movie Freaky Friday!

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! Its collaborative friendly and encourages team work for pretty much every assignment. 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

Image
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...
