Reading Week 9: South African Folk Tales part B
South African Folk-Tales by James Honey
The Dance for Water
The rabbit was tricked by the tortoise, yet fooled the lion
Jackal and Monkey
The Jackal tricked the monkey
The White Man and Snake
The snake wanted to bite the man after he helped her, so the jackal tricked her to be put under the stone again.
Jackal, Dove, and Heron
The Jackal breaks the Heron's neck, causing it to always be bent. The Jackal is not a nice character, and it is odd that most of the stories involving him end with him "winning"
Elephant and Tortoise
It is hard to tell who is the villain in this story. It seems to be the elephant, yet also the lion.
The Judgement of Baboon
It is like a giant rick paper scissors. Each animal or element defeats itself in some way.
When Lion Could Fly
The frog destroyed some special bones that gave the lion the ability to fly. It would be fun to incorporate an object that would let the animals fly.
The Lion who thought Himself Wiser than His Mother
I like the poem at the end of the story. Having a prophesy or telling similar would be fun to write.
