Week 13 Extrea Reading Diary A: La Fontain

The Tortoise and the Hare
  • Classic story
  • The hare falls asleep allowing the tortoise to win the race
  • I like this story because it teaches some one not to be cocky and that nothing is ever in the bag so to speak.

The Dog and His Image
  • This story made me laugh because it reminds me of something my dog would do.
  • A dog sees himself in the reflection in the water. Since he had a bone, his reflection did too. He jumped at the reflection thinking it was another bone and almost drowned in the process. 
  • He also lost his first bone. 
The Hen with the Golden Eggs
  • Another lesson in greed.
  • A hen laid eggs of gold and a man wanted it for himself. 
  • Instead of the egg, I guess he thought the hen was made out of gold? I am not sure. But he cut the hen's head off and explored her insides. 
  • The hen was dead and could no longer lay her golden eggs.
  • That man had a good thing going and ruined for himself. How foolish. 
The Frog Who Wished to Be an Ox
  • A silly frog puffed himself up big he blew up.
  • All that just to be an ox.
