Extra Reading Diary: Czech Folktales

This is a Reading Diary that details my thoughts of the first section of the Czech Folktales unit. Story source: The Key of Gold by Josef Baudis (1922).

• There's a story my family tells that is VERY similar to the beginning of this one.  
• This cape sounds a lot like the invisibility cloak!
• Things really did work out for Sleepy John.  But how could he enjoy his kingdom if he was always sleeping?
•  Burgomaster?  Like Hamburgermaster?  
• Of course the cat was a beautiful woman.  Obviously. 
• I love the line "if they haven't died since, they are still reigning."
• I like the difference of the woman going to the castle to get roses rather than simply taking shelter.  
• She cuts off his head to turn him into the prince ???????
• This story must be the origin for evil twins in soap operas.
