Reading Notes:Myth-Folklore Unit: Japanese Fairy Tales (Lang) , Part A


Stone image by NA

The story this week that intrigued me was the story “The stone cutter”. This story is simple and nice. It teaches the lesson that you don’t always need more than you already have. Just be happy with what you have. To make the story my own I would change it in a few ways. I would first add a modern touch. Along with the modern touch I would add multiple different situation to story to keep the same flow with the modern touch. I would make the man an accountant. Then I would make him wish he was rich. After this I would make him wish he was the CEO of a company. Then I would make him wish he was the moon. Then I would have him wish that he was a fish. Then finally make him a man again. It simple changes but these changes would make the story my own.
