Tibetan Folk Tales
I really liked this story because of how funny it was. The frog reacted so well when in danger and somehow came up with a foolproof plan to save himself from the tiger. By taking a hold on the tiger's tail, he was able to look as though he jumped further. However, I do not understand how the tiger did not feel the frog on his tail, but then again he is starving for a reason. The poor tiger is humiliated throughout the story and makes me feel bad for him.

This was another one of my favorites. I feel like everyone knows that person who is always trying to stir up trouble between friends, but they always get away with it. All the friends have to do is talk to each other to figure out that they were being lied to, however this seems to rarely happen minus this story. The fox is just a jealous and selfish friend of the tiger, and is shown as soon as the tiger becomes friends with the calf. Although I think the punishment is far too harsh, I was pleased that the fox got what was coming to him.
Stories about fate are always interesting. Time and time again fate is portrayed to be unavoidable, such as in the "Final Destination" movies. It is a really scary thought that your destiny has already been chosen and there is no way to escape it. I thought this story was exciting, but I knew the ending because I read the paragraph before it. I still think Drashup could have just left her once he found out she was the girl he was destined to be with and wonder what would have happened if he did.
