Reading Notes: The Gold Giving Serpent

The story I have chosen for this week is The Gold Giving Serpent by Joseph Jacobs


  • The poor farmer and the serpent are the main characters of the story
  • I especially liked the serpent, he was clever and also was not to be messed with
  • He taught the farmer a lesson about greed
  • The farmer tried to betray the hand that fed him
  • I could change the story to were the serpent was immortal and played dead and began to seek revenge on the farmer
  • I could change it to a huge battle of the boy and the serpent for all the gold
  • The snake lets the man be free after killing his son, I could re write that and have the snake take revenge on the farmer and kill him as well.

Reading Notes EC; The Theft of Fire

  Myths and Legends of California and the Old Southwest  by Katharine Berry Judson I love all these native american unit stories because it explains things like why wood makes fire when you rub sticks together, or why the frog has no tail.  The coyote in all these stories seems to be the sneaky character but also people trust him and follow him.  The story explains how coyote stole fire for everyone when two hags were keeping it for themselves and wanted no one else to have it. Coyote and all the other animals would make a plan to steal the fire and bring it to the indians.  They passed off the fire from animal to animal explaining what the fire did to each animal.  Fire
