Extra Reading Diary: Japanese Fairy Tales

The Two Frogs
  • There were two frogs one from Kioto and the other from Osaka
  • There both interested in venturing out to see their native country so one wanted to go to Kioto and the other to Osaka. 
  • On their travels they met each other half way there on top of a mountain so they decided to stand on their hind legs holding each other up to see their destination
  • They were both foolish because their eyes were on the backs of their head so they looked at the town were they came from and therefor believed the destination they were going to was exactly the same as their origin.
The Stonecutter
  •  The Stone cutter was a about a stone cutter who had heard of a spirit that grants riches and wishes to many men
  • He was satisfied until one day he wished to be rich
  • The spirit heard him and as he went along with the wish he continued to wish to be other things
  • In the end he wished to be simple man who cut stones for a living
  • As he went through from being a prince to a the sun he was now satisfied with his life and never wished for anything else
