Interests

Looking through all the options, I was overwhelmed with the variety and amount of interesting stories available. I am definitely very excited to read these stories. The stories that caught my eye the most were about animals. I am a big animal lover and really enjoy reading about them. Other stories I picked like, Tejas, relate to me because I am from Texas and would like to learn about the folklore of the area. In conclusion, any stories that include animals are lots of plot-twists will always be a favorite for me.

Week 5 Story: Elephant's Revenge

Elephant's Revenge A snake heard the loud footsteps of an elephant walking towards him. He became excited because he had been waiting for this moment for days now. A mother elephant was venturing to gather some food and stopped by her usual 'itching tree'. Every couple of days she would use the tree to itch her back where pesky flies and bugs would bite her. Although she would shake the tree, and the animals in it, no damage ever resulted from it as she was careful not to harm the residents that lived there. However, the snake was evil and knew he could use her size and actions to cover up his own agenda. When she began to shake the tree, the snake slid over to a bird's nest and wacked the nest with his tail. This caused all the eggs to fall out and smack against the ground. The parent birds were just arriving back to the nest when they saw the eggs fall. The snake slivered away before he was spotted and the birds automatically assumed it was the elephant's it...
