I thought the plot of the first story, Princess and Pea, was
pretty interesting. I liked how the
Prince was trying to decipher whether the princesses he came across were real
princesses or not. He finally realized
she was a real princess after she slept on top of twenty mattresses with a single
pea on the very bottom and said that she slept poorly because she could feel
something hard. They concluded that only
a real princess would be that sensitive and would be able to feel a pea under
all those mattresses. I thought the
ending was a little strange though how they put the pea in a museum. It didn’t seem to fit with the rest of the
story but I still liked it overall.
Another story I liked was The Emperor’s New Suit. I think that I might try and retell this
story for the storytelling post this week.
I particularly like the beginning of the story which is about an emperor
who spent all of his money on clothes because his only ambition in life was to
be well dressed. I think it might be fun
to retell this story from a woman’s point of view and also maybe from a college
girl’s point of view because I personally know a lot of people who spend all of
their money on clothes even when they have other things they need to be taking
care of instead.
I am looking forward to reading the story of the Little
Mermaid tomorrow and depending on how well I like the story, I might consider
retelling some parts of the original for my storytelling post this week instead
of retelling the Emperor’s New Suit.
