(Illustration of the beautiful woman and the yak by Mildred Bryant, 1925.)
The Ingratitude of Man:
- Animals were rescued by man, man scorned animals, gets into a sticky situation and then animals rescue him.
- This story reminds makes me think of how humans treat animals. We don't give them the respect and gratitude that they deserve. We should treat them better because they help us. I feel that we should be constantly reminded of the importance of animals.
- This man was walking alone and met a ghost. They decide to be friends.
- Their friendship involveer the ghost stealing things and helping the man out.
- In the end. the man benefits from the friendship and thinks this is how a friendship between a man and a ghost works.
- I really liked this story because it seems silly but I just like how it's all based on the ghosts fear. The man internalizes his fears.
- Beautiful lady is looking for a lost yak. Turns out that she is a devil and so is the yak. They are married.
- Lady marries one of the sons helping her find the yak. Each year a brother dies one by one. Parents seek out help from a fortune teller.
- The parents find out that the woman and the yak are devils, so they kill them.
- Fortune teller ends up as ruler of half of the King's land.
- This made me think about what you see is not always what you get. Something can look good, but actually be really horrible.
