The Straw, the Coal, and the Bean: This was a story involving three inanimate objects: a piece of straw, a piece of coal, and a bean. They have all escaped the wrath of a woman who was cooking and are looking to get away. On their escape mission, the piece of straw gets burned and the coal joins. The bean, who was much more cautious, laughs so hard at the others misfortune that he bursts into pieces. His luck allowed him to be sewn back together by a tailor who was passing by. As a result, all beans in the future would have a black seam. I thought I would do notes on this story because it seemed different from the other stories this week. It was not a normal fairy tale that I am familiar with so I thought it would be interesting to come back to on Wednesday when I write my story.
The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage: This story was about three things that come together and live in one single household. They each have certain jobs and do their work nicely. One day the bird realizes that he does much more work than the others so they decide to all change jobs. The sausage ends up getting eaten by a dog, the mouse gets burned by a log, and the bird ends up drowning. I would like to retell this story from the point of view of each animal after the jobs have been switched and leading up to their deaths.
