Reading notes:

I thought this story in particular was a good read.  I think I can do a lot with this and my idea as of now is to maybe change the animals within the story.  I have always been fond of marine life so maybe I could find a way to incorporate that into my story.  The elk story was good and I thought it was cool how some of the actions performed by the elk had repercussions that we can visualize.  Perhaps I could think of an animal or an event that "caused" the creation  of the oceans.  There are a lot of options to go with in that regard and I look forward to coming up with ideas.
