Thoughts and Favorite Unit:
- The Lion and the Crane
- I like the poetry in this one.
- Reminds me of the story where the mouse saves a lion from netting (he nibbles the netting so the lion may escape).
- The Broken Pot
- DID NOT like the part where he abuses his wife. Also, don't like where the story displays that women should be doing domestic work.
- The Magic Fiddle
- The writing didn't flow as smoothly in my opinion so this was a longer read for me
- The Cruel Crane Outwitted
- I liked this story!
- The crane has evil intentions and deceives the fish (which means he eats them all). The crab however is not so easily tricked and is able to outwit the crane.
- This has Karma written all over it
- The Tiger, The Brahman, and the Jackal
- I've noticed that Brahman's tend to have a kind heart
- This story is very similar to the one directly above. Maybe I could merge the two stories and characters for a possible storytelling post.

- Harisarman
- Wasn't as interested in this story...at least compared to the two stories above.
- The Charmed Ring
- I enjoyed this story, but I think it might be hard to recreate it. It was pretty detailed and in order to put a twist on it I feel like I would have to go off on some creative tangents.
- It definitely shows the power of friendships over money!
