Week 12: Reading Diary

For this week’s reading, I did the readings from Twenty- Two Goblins. The first story I read was eight goblin, the Specialist in food, specialist in women, and the specialist in Cotton, which is the cleverest. I felt bad for their dad because these three suns didn’t bring back a turtle to finish up their dad’s sacrifice. The next story I read was the Ninth Goblin. I enjoyed reading this story. This story is about four men of sciences seeking the hands of the princess in marriage. One of them were a cloth weaver, farmer, swordsmen and a Brahmin. The princess were given to the swordsmen.  The tenth goblin is about a king and his three wives. The eleventh goblin was a story about the king and his counselor who ended up having to take up on the duties of the king because the king devoted him selves to pleasure.

Week 10, Review

Today, what caught my attention is the proverb “Don’t count on your chickens before they are hatched.” Why it caught, my attention is because I do this a lot. For example in this class, I count my points out the week before and  think to myself that if I don’t do this particular project, I will be fine, However sometimes I end up getting so busy and don’t even finish most of the assignments and lose all the points for these assignments. If I had done, the ones that I did not want to do when I had the time, I would have at least gotten that much more points and I would have been close to being done with this class.

Week 10: Reading Feed Back

I picked to read Twenty- Two Goblins. I originally picked Amar Chitra Katha, however changed to Twenty- Two Goblin because it was related to my storybook. I enjoy reading the reading diaries, because it is laid out in a way that it is clear what you are supposed to read for each week’s readings. However, What I don’t like is the names in these readings, they sounded so unreal. However, I like the reading over all. To do my reading diary A and B, it takes about less than 2 hours.

Week 11, Story telling: Vikram

“I am going to tell you about the great king Vikramaditya, also known as Vikram.”  Said Budhi. “He was the king of Ujjain, India. He was famous for his intelligence, humbleness, generosity and virtue. He was loved among all his subjects. He goes beyond and above to help any subjects who are in need. Ujjain kingdom have never seen a glorious king like Vikram.”

“How does he look like Budhi?” Shena asked.

“ Little girl, I have mentioned before not to interrupt me! I will let it go this time, if you do this one more time, you can go on your own way and never come back. Do you understand?

“ I am sorry Budhi, I will not repeat this mistake again, please continue.” Shena uttered with fear.

“ Okay, I shall answer your question as well. He looked as radiant as the sun, tall and handsome. Women, upon looking at him fell in love with his beauty. When they hear his voice, they willingly gave their heart to him. One day, a monk went to Vikram’s palace and asked for a place to stay. Vikram made sure that the monk had more than what he needed to have a good stay at his palace.” Budhi continued. “ The monk gave Vikram a fruit every day in return for letting the monk stay in his palace. Vikram gave these fruits to the treasurer. One day, instead of the treasurer, Vikram gave these fruit to a monkey, when the monkey split open the fruit, a precious gem was spotted. Vikram called up on the treasurer and asked him what he did with the fruit and the treasurer replied by saying that he threw the fruits away. He also noted that he could go look for the thrown away fruits and collect the gems. Vikram gave all the gems to the treasurer. He then sent out a guard to fetch the monk. When the monk came in, he asked him why he was presenting him with such precious gems. The monk replied by saying that he wanted a favor and only someone as brave as Vikram was only able to carry out such a favor. Without thinking, Vikram agreed to do the monk a favor. The monk asked Vikram to meet him at the forest next to the graveyard on the next full moon. The monk warned him that no one else could know about the arrangement between them. Vikram nodded his head as in agreement to what the monk said.

Author’s note

I have not added anything to the story; I pretty much said the story as it is. I feel like I need to polish my story more since it lacks many details. I based this story off Twenty – Two Goblins. I am planning on going back and adding more details to this story.
