Hey there! Welcome to "Fairy Tale and Folktale Fridays," a new feature on my blog where I discuss about some fairy tales and folktales I have read throughout the years.
The Tiger and the Brahmin
Type: Folktale
Country of Origin: India
Main Character Hero or Heroine: Hero
Recommend?: Yes!
I really enjoyed this story! I liked the fact that this story teaches readers about the importance of being assertive of other people's motives, while still trying to be kind towards other people also. I also liked the fact that this story teaches about the importance of showing gratitude towards the people who have helped you instead of trying to take advantage of them after they helped you. I also think that the jackal was my favorite character in this story as he was quite entertaining to read!
1. What do you hope to understand about the world?
For me, I would like to understand about why people fight each other so much or why world peace is so hard to accomplish, even though many people tried to make it a goal in society.
2. Was there a time where someone took advantage of your kindness?
Of course, when I was in middle and high school, people tend to take advantage of me when it comes to doing school work. Luckily, I learned my lesson once I got to college.
3. What's your favorite folktale from India?
So far, "The Tiger and the Brahmin" is the only folktale I've read from India so far. I'm hoping to read more folktales from India soon!
