The Violet Fairy Book by Andrew Lang
The Two Frogs: This story was about two frogs who wish to travel to each others towns. They meet in the middle and become friends. They decide to stand on each others shoulders in order to see the town they are traveling to. They are foolish and do not realize that they are looking at their own towns and decide to not travel any further. I thought this was an interesting and peculiar story. It would be interesting to do a retelling of it where they end up traveling to each others towns instead of turning around and returning home. I do not know much about Japanese culture, but I think it would be interesting to do some research on these towns and then write about the two frogs experiences and how they would differ from their home towns.
