One day Jeremy a small town college boy decided to go to the amusement park with a couple of his college buddies. They walked into six flags in san Antonio Texas and were taken back by the size of the rides. He and his friends rode a bunch of rides and then braked for lunch. They were sitting down enjoying their meal and Jeremy just had this constant feeling that something interesting would happen that day. They finish lunch and went back to riding some of the biggest roller coasters in the country. While waiting in line Jeremy started talking with a cute girl a few rows over, her name was Erin. They broke apart in the line when Jeremy had just gotten on the ride superman when he looked back down into the line and saw Erin again who was the cutest girl he had ever seen.

Reading: Turtle and Thunder

The Story that drew my attention for today came from the British North America Unit. The stories title is Turtle and Thunder . This story is about a turtle that lived all alone in a lake. One day this turtle kept having something hit his head. So, he went to the woods to find help.   He turned down many of people that offered help but finally came upon a plethora of little turtles. He brought the little turtles back to his lake, and then he went home. Then a big stone fell down and killed all the little turtles. Turtle went to see what happened and he saw a big bird overhead. This bird was the thunder bird, and since this day turtle stayed in the water when there was a storm. The plot that I got from this story was that the turtle needed to not try to fix a problem that mother nature was providing and maybe if he had used some of the other animals help his problem would be no longer.

Reading: Creation of Light

The story that this reading note will be conducted over the Creationof Light from the British North America. In the story light was only upon the Chiefs teepee, and the animals wanted light as well. The chief continually denied them light. There was a young fox that started chanting khain which means he cries for daylight. And everyone else was chanting light. The chief tried his best but he was getting tired from this and then the animals continually chanted. The light started to steal the sight and the chief accidentally said let there be – light. He meant to say no light. But then the light took the sky. The plot I took from this was if you become tired you may not complete your job to the best of your abilities.
