Story Source: Romance of Old Japan, Part I: Mythology and Legend by E. W. Champney and F. Champney (1917).

Reading Notes part A:  I particularly enjoyed the story of the Fortunate Fish-Hook.  I made a connection since the story is about two brothers and it made me think of my brother.  Additionally, I thought about making a change in the theme of my stories.  The Fortunate Fish-Hook is a romance story and perhaps I may decide to write a romance story for my upcoming story book this week?  I am still undecided because I also feel like I could take the conflict between Ho-wori and Ho-deri.  Perhaps I could make it to where Ho-wori and Ho-deri become great enemies of each other and that the forests and the seas would never be able to rekindle after such a grief.  I am considering editing the story to where Ho-wori is lost for a very long time and returns with his hook and his relationship with his brother is restored - leaving the princess under the sea out of it completely.

JLE#27: Week 7 Story

 Story Photo by Brandon Montrone from Pexels The monk began his pilgrimage through the forest just before dawn.  He did not want to attract any natural predators of the forest by making his way through there at a later hour in the evening.  As he was walking through the forest, he could only think about the news he and his companions heard in the monastery.  Two young girls’ mother and brother attacked and eaten by a panther!  “How terrible” he thought to himself and as the thought slowly slipped from his mind, he began to hasten his pace throughout the forest.  He was passing an immense tree when he saw a figure running towards him in red.  A girl had stopped in front of him and asked him “if anyone is following me tell them you have not seen anyone in this forest” and the monk agreed.  The girl continued to sprint at an impressive rate and soon the monk no longer saw her.  Not long after the encounter with the girl, the monk began to take...
