Dear Mrs.Hamilton,
I read this tale called " Little Kay " and I thought it was one of the best tales ever! I think that beceause Little Kay was so brave that she kept telling the old magician that she wanted to serve the Sultan even though it was only for boys, she still went!
There was a part where the Sultan VERY suspicous about Little Kay because he kept thinking that Little Kay is not a boy, she's a girl but his tests did not work but still got more suspicous every time!
The finominal part of the story was when littler Kay showed her bravness and strength to the evil ogre and actually defeated him plus she saved all of the people and the kingdom!
A question that came into my mind was why was Little Kay the bravest even though she was the youngest?
Well I had a super time reading this tale and I hope you will be interested in reading this tale too!
Sincerely,
Daniyal

Rollin - Tale: How Raven Freed the Moon
Dear Mrs.Hamilton,
I have just started a book called "How The Raven Freed The Moon." When I read the first 3 pages it made me want to read more , which is what the author wanted to do. Also, the first three pages were pretty strong I wanted to read the rest, it made me want to cling on to the book, and not let go!
On page 17, I thought it was pretty weird of the fisherwoman to say to the daughter "Is it your baby?" because if the daughter had a baby I'm sure that the daughter would tell the fisherwoman.
When I had first read this fable I thought it was really rude to prank the daughter and fisherwoman like that.But it did make the story much more interesting.
I didn't actually understand at the end, who was the bad guy?The daughter and fisherwoman "stole" the moon (somehow) from the sky. But the raven tried to steal the moon like the mother and daughter did.
I loved this fable more then any other I have ever read! I would tell you the ending but I wouldn't want to spoil the rest of the story for you!

Rajpreet - Fable: the Fox and the Crow
Dear Mrs. Hamilton,
Today I read an interesting fable called "The fox and the Crow". There are two charcters in this fable a fox and a crow. I have never heard of this fable before.
The fox is a very clever fox in this fable. What he does is that he makes the crow talk and let's the meat fall out of the crows beak and then he grabs the meat and runs away. I had thought that was a very clever way to get the meat from the crow.
I disliked the part when the fox says that the crow needs a brain. I thought that was mean of him to say. I liked the part when the author said "black as night, shiny as wet leaves and a real flower from the sky". I thought those were some great similes. I had felt bad for the crow because the fox had took the meat from her.
I thought this fable was great. I really enjoyed this fable.
Sincerely,
Rajpreet

Allison: Tale - How Raven Freed The Moon
Dear Mrs.Hamliton,
I read the fable "How raven freed the moon".I liked this fable.
I especially liked the end because when the old fisherwoman and her daughter realized that the moon they had kept for themselves looked better in the sky.
I had lots of questions to this story, like "how did the raven turn into a baby?", "how did the family take the moon?" I want to know how things happen.
It confused me because when they said "the baby,was of course raven" they said the same thing everytime.
I really enjoyed reading this fable.

Melody: "How The Raven freed The Moon"
Dear Mrs. Hamilton,
I am reading "How The Raven Freed The Moon."
I like the part when the raven saved the moon from that box.
I don't like the part when the "fisherwomen" got the daughter to try to make the baby (Raven) to stop crying.
I don't think that the Raven is smart because he did not think about how much the moon would weigh because he was putting it in his beak and it almost slipped out. So he threw it in the sky and it landed in a cloud but what if it did not make it and it landed on the ground and smashed!
Hope you enjoy the book your reading!
Sincerely,
Melody

Daniyal: Tale - The Rajah's Rice
Dear Mrs.Hamilton,
When I read the tale "The Rajah's rice", I enjoyed reading it because the character called "Chandra" was so nice at the end of the story because she requested to the Rajah to get all of the rice from him for the people. Chandra saved the Rajah's elephants so the Rajah promised Chandra to give her rice.
The part I was surprised on was when the servants were putting rice on each square of the checker board but the Rajah was being unfair and telling his servants to so other things with the rice like put less rice on the squares. I tried to figure out how many pieces of rice would be on the checkerboard at the end. My answer was 10446744032749551616.
I really liked how the author had clear pictures in the story so we can see them properly.
I really like this tale and I hope you do!
Sincerely,
Daniyal

Aaron - Tale: Raven Freed the Moon
Dear Mrs. Hamilton,
I read this fantastic tale called How Raven Freed Moon. You should really read this tale.
This tale confused me a little because how does someone catch a moon but you are very smart so you would understand it.
This tale reminded me of the time my brother tricked me to get money.
I liked the part when raven was the baby and when raven almost dropped the moon in the ocean.
So that's why the tale is fantastic.
Your student,
Aaron
