While I was reading “The Dance for Water” I was almost positive that the story was going to end badly for the rabbit. However, I was surprised when it slipped out of its skin and ran away. It sounds like an ending I would have written.
(The rabbit, source)
“The Judgement of Baboon” reminded me of rock paper scissors, especially the part that says “fire consumes wood. wood beats dog” and so on. I think it would be fun to make a story based on this, and call it “the origin of rock paper scissors.”
