Week 4: Reading Diary Extra: The Story of the Wolf-Bride

Reading from Unit: Persian Tales. Translated by D.L.R. Larimer and E.O. Larimer and illustrated by Hilda Roberts (1919).

 My favorite story from this Unit was, The Story of the Wolf-Bride. As I began to read I was upset when the boy was put nan underground chamber. Even though it was to protect him it is not how someone should spend their life. Then as I kept reading I was surprised and even more so upset about the boy being put on the chamber.

Locked away

The boy grew up and it was time for him to have a wife. So he did and she was brought down to his chamber and they were left alone. As it was told at the start of the story the boy was said to have his life taken by a wolf and torn apart. This is why he was first placed in the chamber.

As it came to be and after all of his life so far spent in his chamber. The wife had turned into a wolf and torn him apart. Only to turn back into a girl with no idea how it all happened.

I liked this story because even if people are told something bad is going to happen, they shouldn't change the way they live. They should still go about enjoy life as if nothing were going to change.

You never know how things are going to happen. So enjoy the time you have and live life to the fullest.
