Reading Notes: Week 2 Reading Anthology

The Cunning Crane and the Crab 

This story grabbed my attention because it reminded me of the type of books my mom used to read to me growing up where each story has a life lesson in it.

  • Shows how even the smartest can be outsmarted
  • How everything comes full circle

Next to them was a beautiful lake with a very cunning crane. The crane loves to eat fish and saw an opportunity to take advantage of the fish struggling in their pond. The Crane flew over to the fish and enticed the fish by telling them about this beautiful lake next to them with a plentiful amount of water. Soon, all the fish in the lake were gathered around the Crane while he went on and on about the lake he lives in with lots of water. The fish were all thrilled to hear this but also very suspicious of the crane because they knew that cranes feast on fish. They asked many questions but the crane was quite convincing. The fish gathered together to decide and wound up deciding to give the Crane a cha
