This week I read Indian Fairy Tales. My favorite story in this collection was called The Cruel Crane Outwitted. This story was about a crane, who was having trouble finding food. So he told the fish that it was unsafe to stay in their current pond and he could move them to a new home. One at a time he took the fish in his mouth and "moved" them to the new pond, but was really eating them. Eventually he took a crab to the new pond, but the crane transported him around his neck. The crab saw the fish bones on the ground and knew what was happening so he killed the crane. Maybe for my story this week I can make this story have a happy ending, where the crane and fish and crab live peacefully together.
