Reading Diary B: British Fairy Tales

Henny-Penny

• Henny-Penny is a fairy tale that is very similar to others I have read where one character plans to go tell the king something
• The story goes that henny-penny is going to tell the king the sky is falling and so as she goes other character tag along
• It gets to the point where the fox tags along and tell them that he knows how to get there and takes them to his cave
• In his cave he kills all of them except henny-penny and henny-penny gets away.

Johnny-Cake

• This story is about a cake who outruns the people who baked him and also other people on the way of his run
• Johnny cake even outruns a bear and wolf but then he gets to the fox
• Like I have seen many times before the fox character is usually very smart
• So the fox acts like he can hear Johnny cake making him come closer and in conclusion just eats him up.
• I really liked this story and think I might write my storytelling based on this story right here
