The Monkey and the Crocodile
- The monkey in this story is very cunning when he said he left his heart behind.
- Why did the writer have to call the crocodile "stupid" though? He was just a little Crocodile.
- If his mother wanted to eat something, she should have gotten it herself rather than making her son do it since he doesn't seem to know much about catching monkeys!
- I didn't know that crocodiles closed their eyes when they open their mouth.
- I like that the little Crocodile was very persistent. He really wanted that monkey heart for his mommy Crocodile.
- The king put fish into a lake where his sons would play around in? That doesn't sound safe for the fish at all if the lake was small!
- The poor turtle didn't do anything at all but the king wanted to have it killed. Wow.
- The king and his people were actually really foolish because they found the turtle in the water in the first place. If they put it in water.. it would just be like putting it back where it was living comfortably...
- This story was kind of twisted.
- I suppose the lesson here is to not talk too much or it else you'll gets in lots of trouble?
- Turtles are usually very smart in most stories, but in this one, the turtle was not smart at all!
- I feel like the message of this story is to treat others with kindness and that being mean or demanding will not get you anywhere.
- When the man beat the ox, it was flabbergasted and didn't even move an inch, making him lose all his money.
- Once he apologized and spoke to it in a kind way, it drew one hundred carts for him and earned him lots of money.
- This story felt like there wasn't a moral, but I thought it was kind of funny
- The poor little rabbit freaked out whenever a coconut fell on it and thought the world was breaking up.
- Then every other creature it came across believed it and started running around too!
- Luckily the lion was there.
- Maybe the moral of the story was that in some dire situations, we all need someone who is level-headed to help us out? haha
- I felt that this was a great story about sacrificing yourself for another.
- In some cases, most people are not as merciful as the king, but luckily the king decided to stop hurting the deer after seeing the King's sacrifice.
- This was a good story!
- I like that there was a mysterious element to the story with the riddle given by the water-sprite to each of the princes.
- I felt like because the elder prince was able to answer the question right, he should be given the authority to rule after the king dies.
- I wonder why the queen wanted the sun prince to become the king?
- I'm not sure how this story teaches the value of hard work.. is it because the pig did not do much work, which is why the farmer chose to make a feast out of the pig instead of the oxen?

- The Crane was very deceitful in this story!
- I like that justice was served at the end with the crab killing the crane.
- This is another lesson that tells us what goes around will ultimately come back around aka karma will always get you back!
- I think those names are very deserving for each fish!
- I noticed that in the intro for this story, there are versions of this story where not all of the fishes got away. Is it perhaps the "thoughtless" fish who got caught in the other ones?
- Why is it that lycanthropes are the characters who are always thought to be "wicked?"
- I think wolves are very honorable animals!
- This story seems like a spin-off of the little red riding hood story.
- The moral of the story here is not to be wicked and greedy.
