Reading Notes: Czech Folktales, Part A

I can definitely relate to John in “Sleepy John.” I would take naps all the time if I could! This line made me laugh: “ONCE there was a lad named John, and he used to go to sleep always and everywhere.”

(Sleepy John, source) 

I’ve read “The Bear, the Eagle, and the Fish” before and it’s a pretty interesting story. 

I really liked the title “The Three Roses” because it reminds me of me and my sisters. There’s three of us and three daughters in the story. It also has some Beauty and the Beast vibes to it.
