Reading Notes: Other Jakata Tales, Part A

Bibliography. "The Three Fishes" from More Jakata Tales by Ellen C. Babbitt (1922). Web Source.

After reading all the stories from Part A of More Jakata Tales, I decided to focus on The Tree Fishes as this story stood out to me. 

Focus Story: The Three Fishes

Notes: 

- Three characters: Very-Thoughtful, Thoughtful, Thoughtless

- Beginning: The three fishes leave their safe home out into the open river.

- Very-thoughtful expresses a concern as it's dangerous since there are fishermen in the open river but the rest were not.

- Thoughtful and Thoughtless accidentally and foolishly ran into a fisherman's net.

- Very-thoughtful cleverly saved them. Because of this, they agree to go back home with Very-thoughtful.

Thoughts and Ideas for Storytelling:

I really enjoy this story and chose it mainly because there are endless possibilities for storytelling. The names of the fishes were unique and describe the character. The story was simple and an easy light read. I feel like this could easily be turned into a microfiction since the story isn't really deep and complex. There isn't really a lot of layers to the story as the story is very straightforward.
