Reading Diary A: Turkish Fairy Tales

Turkish Fairy Tales

Fear:

  • I liked how the young boy mocked the dead "naturally I should feed the dead before the living"
  • The robbers in the big group should have tried to put fear in the boy themselves
  • Did this boy have superpowers, or was he just not startled by anything?
  • Everything that scared normal people, could not scare the young boy
  • All the people who were supposed to have scared the boy and didn't, drank to his health
  • 3 pigeons landed on the boys head, that must have meant something 
  • The most unexpected thing cause the boy fear, a bird flying out of the soup pot
The Wizard-Dervish
  • He was taking a walk with his "lala" I like that name 
  • Why did the young girl give the Prince advice?
  • The Prince married the young girl the maiden, without her mothers consent
  • Her mother was a witch
  • The maiden had powers of her own
  • You would think after the 2nd time the maiden would know better to turn them back into themselves right away, because her mother always saw
  • The ending of this story made the least bit of sense to me 
The Fish-Peri
  • When the youth went out fishing for the day his magical fish was cleaning the house for him
  • The youth did not know it was the fish until, he stayed behind one day to watch
  • The maidens always know what to do in these stories
  • After one wish is granted, they always want more because they want what they can't have because the people keep proving them wrong 
  • The youth was careless and didn't listen to the maiden, and the egg he dropped a mule sprang out of
  • The youth eventually got to marry the maiden, and the Padishah did not
The Crow-Peri
  • The boy has 40 days to find something that is impossible to find Ivory
  • The boy got wine for the elephants to drink, so they would get drunk
  • The boy got the queen for the Padishah and they married
  • The crow that had been helping the boy was once the queens fair-servant
  • The crow turned into a beautiful maiden and the boy wed her
