Reading Diary A: Chinese Fairy Tales

This is a Reading Diary that details my thoughts of the first section of the Chinese Fairy Tales unit. Story source: The Chinese Fairy Book, ed. by R. Wilhelm and translated by Frederick H. Martens (1921).

• What is the point of the daughter throwing the ball if she can choose who to throw it to?  I thought she was leaving this up to chance.  Close your eyes and throw the dang ball!
• I guess dragons are a sign of good luck ?
• I wonder what kind of luck their child would have had?  Ill or good?  
• The story about the panther is super similar to Little Red Riding Hood.
• That was the most complicated way to kill a panther that I've ever seen.  
• I love when animals all work together.  
• Aw well that didn't last long.  
• I love picturing a moon world.  
• Is it bad that I can't stop thinking about Sailor Moon?
• That horse traveled all the way to get you and that's how you treat it!!!
• Did not see her living in heaven watching over silkworms as the ending...
• It's strange that the Master of Peace and the Master of War are worshiped together.
