Fear: A boy is told by his mother that she is fearful, so he sets out on a journey to find Fear. He goes through numerous situations in which most people actually would be fearful, and yet he still does not experience fear. He was determined to find it and searched in many places and asked many people. At the end, he finally experienced fear when the bird flew out of the lid. I liked that this boy experienced all these things that most would find fearful, and yet he was not scared until a bird jumped out at him in the end. It seems that if he was not afraid at any other point in the story, that he wouldn't be afraid of a bird. I guess that different people fear different things and what is not scary to one person may be terrifying to another. It was an interesting story.
The Fish-Peri: In this story, a fisherman catches a fish that turns out to be a maiden. They plan to wed but a Padishah did not want the fisherman to have the woman. He wanted to be the one to wed her. He gives the fisherman all these seemingly impossible tasks but the fisherman and the maiden come up with ideas in order to accomplish them. They are able to get married finally. I liked this story because it shows what extremes some people will do in order to be with those they love. The maiden helped the fisherman in every aspect and so they were finally able to be together. I like it when people stay together even when there are so many obstacles in their way.
