Bibliography: The Foolish, Timid Rabbit by Ellen C. Babbitt
Image from "The Foolish, Timid Rabbit

This story was quite hilarious to me. I love reading stories like this one, where the rabbit is unaware of his surroundings and causes a ruckus all around. The first rabbit who is scared the world was going to break runs for his life, once the sound of a crack is heard behind him, which was just a coconut. As he runs and runs, animals of all sorts join in until they come across the King Lion. Once the King Lion backtracks the first rabbits steps, he ends up calling the rabbit a fool. 

Bibliography: The Cunning Crane and the Crab by W. H. D. Rouse

In this story, the Crane is pretty clever and plots a plan to eat all the fish. The lake the fish were currently at was drying up from the heat, so they were bound to dry up and die. However, there was a beautiful lake nearby, that was under shade so the water was glistening. The Crane convinced the fish to go one by one into his beak, once he took an old fish with one-eye there and back safely. The Crane then took advantage of the gullible fish and ate them one-by-one as they were taken to the "beautiful lake". Once all the fish were depleted, the Crane was hungry and ran into a Crab. The crab thought around the Crane's tactics and got itself to the beautiful lake, safe and sound, snapping the Crane's neck once and for all.

Introduction to the simple life of Paul

I plan to pursue a career in cyber security for which ever company gives me an opportunity to do so. I am currently taking my capstone, which is the most exciting class I've taken so far in my history of classes and I plan to try extra hard so that I can stand out to the clients we are working with. This capstone is similar to an internship due to the fact that we work with different clients and perform a plethora of tasks, which range from designing websites to creating databases.          Apart from my college life, I like to do many things outside of school. 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
