Mythology and Folklore

After yesterday's reading from the Tibet Folklore, I knew that I would love the rest of the stories, but I wanted to explore a different area. I read the stories from Laos, and I thoroughly enjoyed them.They are all so different yet fun in their own way. Although all were fun to read, my favorite one was called, "A Boy of the City Streets." "A Boy of the City Streets" is about a young boy who gets approached by 3 wise men. The reason why I liked this story the best is because of the language in the story. I am a big junky for old time stories, so reading this was very enjoyable for me. I also thought it was interesting to read a story about 3 wise men because I immediately thought about the 3 wise men from the Bible and it brought me down memory lane. This story has a lot of meaningful hidden meanings that I really enjoy. The 3 Wise Men  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUBTERdTKUg Bibliography: "Laos: The Boy of the City Streets" By:...

I read numerous readings from the Tibet Folktales and I absolutely loved all of them. Below I have notes for my favorite reading from this section. The Man and The Ghost: I loved this story the most for many reasons. For one, I was intrigued by the title itself. I thought to myself, "I wonder what this could be about," and as I was reading it interested me. I love how the author had two completely different people, a man and a ghost, and storied them to be friends and to lean on each other. I also liked how there was situations where the ghost kept his promise and tried to help the man any way he can. Overall, this story left me wanting more!  A picture of a ghost seeming to be interested in the baby in that women's belly  https://theculturetrip.com/asia/thailand/articles/13-terrifying-ghosts-thai-folklore/ Bibliography:  The Tibet Folktales (The Man and The Ghost) by A.L.
