Extra Credit Reading: The Banyan Deer

Bibliography: The Banyan Deer by Ellen C. Babbitt

There was a Banyan Deer who was gold, the king of 500 Banyan Deer
There was another herd of deer called the monkey deer.
Both had a king

The king of the country like to hunt deer, but sometimes would tell his cooks to go hunt them
The cooks didn't like going out and doing so because they would fall behind in their work
They thought of making a pit and driving all the deer into it so that the king could easily hunt there

Once this was done, all the deer of the country were at the hands of the king
He would go and hunt some days and others his cooks would
The deer would die one by one until one day

A mother deer was next who had just given birth
She asked for a delay in time so that she could be with her baby, but her king said no
She asked the Bunyan Deer King and he offered to go ahead of her

The King granted all the deer's lives so forth

One thing in particular would be just hanging out with my friends and enjoying some drinks while we talk about some deep internal issues th

Week 5 Story: Jess and Jones

Jess and Jones One summer day, the water was glistening and birds chirping. It had been a fine summer with everything going mighty fine. Out in the fields with cows and horses, there was a house that managed it all. The household of Mr. Madison, who was well-known for his pure humor and intelligence. He had two son, Jones and Jackson, who were everything to him. Jones had a wife, Jess, who was a beloved daughter of Mr. Madison's dear friend. As relationships were sturdy and people were happy, it seemed as if almost nothing went wrong.  On a gloomy afternoon, when everyone had gone out except Jess, there had been weird noises outside. Jess went to take a look, but as she opened the door, a tall man stood there with a grim on his face. Immediately, she saw that it had been Jones's arch enemy, Luther. Luther was a man of extreme sorrow and brought along negative vibes all around him. He had never been happy since the day Jones was able to have Jess. Since their high school
