The Ass in the Lion's Skin: I really enjoyed this short
poem. I thought it was very cool seeing what the donkey was like trying to be a
lion. I also liked the rhyme throughout.
Many of the poems do not rhyme, but that is one of my favorite parts about poems.
This is probably my favorite part of all the stories I read, although they were
all very good. I look forward to reading the second part of this unit.
The Fox and the Grapes: I really enjoyed this poem. I
thought it was very sad that the fox could not reach the grapes. I don’t know
what he meant by let the pigs devour. If the fox couldn’t reach the grapes
there is no way that the pigs could. It
is also really sad that the grapes were sour. I really enjoyed this story and
hope that there are more stories like this.
The Grasshopper and the Ant: This story made me chuckle. I
thought it was hilarious that the ant told him to dance. Basically this story is
about a grasshopper that sings all summer long, so had no time to collect food.
Whenever winter came along, he had to ask the ant to burrow some food. The ant
told him that since he sang all summer, he should dance all winter for the
food. I thought this was a pretty funny, but mean, thing to say by the ant.
Overall, I really enjoyed this story and thought it did a great job at making
me laugh.
