Dear Orly,
This week I read a folktale called Tricks of the Tales. The authors are John and Caitlin Matthews. I wanna write you about one story that interest me. The story is called A home of One's Own. I wanna tell you what happened in that story.
The characters are Sungura, Leopard, Sungura's wife and their childeren. Sungura and Leopard were two animals who were in Africa and didn't have a home. Sungura was strong but small and wanted to have a family. Leopard was greedy and bad-tempered.
The setting took place in Africa and on the highest hill where Leopard and Sungura build their house.
The weather was nice and the climate was sunny.
The plot of the story is about two animals in Africa that didn't have a place to leave. They were Sungura and Leopard. Sungura wanted to raise a beautiful family and Leopard was greedy and mean. One day Sungura saw a high hill and decided to build his house there. Without knowing, Leopard also built his house there. Each time they added a piece to complete the house, they didn't know who did that. They believed it was their ancestors. One morning, they both woke up and saw one another. They both argued about who was the first one to arrive to build the house. They just agreed to built a wall between where each one is sleeping so that they have their own space. With that plan, Sungura got a wife, married her, and had children. Leopard was annoyed that the babies were always crying and wanting food so he wanted to eat one of the babies. Before he did that, Sungura's wife already had a plan and it worked. She got a baboon to capture Leopard. Sungura told his kids that they don't have to cry for food anymore because Leopard will be their meal. Leopard got scared and ran away. Sungura and his wife than lived happily ever after with their children!
The conflict in the story was that Leopard got annoyed that Sungura's children were always crying for food so he decided to eat one baby. That is so MEAN!!!!
The resolution is that Sungura's wife had a plan which was to get a baboon to catch Leopard and eat him for dinner. He got so scared and ran away that Sungura and his family finally had their own house to live in!!
I liked that story because it showed the reader that greedy and selfish people don't get a good out come in the end. That's what happened to Leopard for wanting to eat Sungura's babies. Sungura was a good person that got his wish finally granted- Raise a beautiful Family.:)
My favorite part was when Sungura had a wife and kids. That was very sweet and he waited for that to happen a long time.He was a confident person so that's why his wish came true very quickly.
My least favorite part is when Leopard wanted to eat Sungura's babies. That is just mean, wrong, and disgusting. I'm glad that big monster ran away and didn't come back!!
Hope you liked it Orly!!!! LOVE YOU!<3

  2. Dear Adi,
    This sounds like a great story! I love ho Sungura wanted to have a family and his wish came true! It was very sweet! I agree with you on how Leopard was very evil and wanted to eat one of sungura's babies! That is very mean!
    I have a few questions. Why don't they just build another house instead of building a wall? If you were in Sungura's position, What would you do? Please answer my questions!
    Sincerely
    Stav Sharoni

  4. Dear Stav,
    I also didn't understand why one of them just didn't go to find another house. If I was to be in Sungura's position, I would leave because I don't want to live with a selfish and mean person. Also because he's mean, he wouldn't have gotten out of the house anyways. Thank you Stavush for the questions and I hope you liked the story and my answers!!:)

    Love,

  5. Dear Dana,
    They did build a house, they just built the wall to have seperate spaces.
    I think the theme is always be confident and positive because at the end good things will happen to you and when you're mean and selfish nothing good will happen to you!
    My favorite character is Sungura because he always believed in himself and thought positive even though what he wished for, didn't come true that quickly. Thank you Dana for the questions and I hope you liked my story and answers!<3
    Love,
    Adi<3
