Reading Notes: Week 13, A

The Otters and The Wolf by Ellen C. Babbitt

There was a wolf who went off to get fresh fish for his mate
On his journey, he saw two otters
The two otters saw a big fish and decided they should catch it to eat

The first otter caught the fish, but as strong as the fish was, it was set free with its strength
It was so strong it had dragged the otter along, who then yelled for his companions help
The two otters teamed up and caught the big ol' fish

Then a controversy stirred up as the two otters both wanted the head of the fish
The wolf saw the two arguing and came to settle things
The wolf split the head and tail for each of them and ran off with the body

The otters realized the wolf had taken the best part
The wolf's mate saw the great fish and questioned how he had caught it
The wolf said he settled a quarrel between two otters and saw an opportunity to take the best part

The two foolish otters

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
