Reading Notes: Japanese Fairy Tales Part A

This week’s story that I chose was from the Japanese Fairy Tales. I read the story from Yei Ozaki- the part of her story that stuck out to me the most was the first three chapters called “My Lord Bag of Rice”. These first few chapters are about this warrior named Hidesato. These chapters are about how he goes on an adventure to help someone kill this man’s enemy. The story ends with Hidesato helping this man and receiving many presents, and respect in return. I would change how the adventure would be a lot more intense. Except he would have a friend that joined him- who also happened to be a genius and knew how to make things no one else knew how to. He would have futuristic weapons that could help them change dimensions, time periods, or other planets. They would get into trouble on every trip they would take, and somehow fix it all in the end. Although, it does end with these two earning their countries respect and acceptance.
