READING B:
- Flute as a mating call of sorts
- The handsome man gets the fair maiden
- Turning into a pidgeon
- Going somewhee every day waiting for your love. (Would make a great story. A man sitting on a rock playing a flute or something else like a guitar, waiting for someone who will never come.)
- This was hardly a story.
- The age old, "and it was all a dream..." (a trope that I am not a fan of.)
- Ominous prophecy
- Girl doesn't know she's a werewolf, turns into a wolf and with uncontrollable powers, devours her husband. Thus, the prophecy is fulfilled.
- Whatever is willed by fate, so be it.
- I feel like the girl should have recieved punishment, like she killed her husband, people! We can't all just laugh about it.
- A person, personifying Luck
- Thorn gatherer. Why are so many people gathering thorns in these stories? What do they do with these thorns? Maybe it would be part of a magical potion or something. Or be the only defense against dragons, like they mount the thorns on swords.
- Truly gullible people
- Saying things with ulterior motives. This would work great in a story with faeries. They say things to help a human, and then one day come back and say, hey where's my reward? Great concept.
- Everyone who is greedy is put to shame
- Discovering treasures for dreams. Trading dreams for payment. Could be someone's job in a story, like the dream keeper or something.
- Easy come, easy go
- Regaining your luck slowly, but surely
- Someone thinks they are helping, but they bring great misfortune.
- Magic rings
- The punishment seemed way extreme. Like I know he arrested this woman under false pretenses, but I don't know if he deserved to die. I mean, it is awful how all the time people get wrongfully convicted nowaways, and the people who arrested them don't recieve any punishment. But, the death penality seems a little steep, don't you think?
- A figure coming to those in hard times. Which, I suppose is the case in most religions. In a more supernatural thought, this figure could be a faerie, a witch, a wizard, or an oracle. Some kind of mystical knight that visits damsels in distress, they seem to come from no where and then disapear.
- Giving offerings to nature pays off. Another story idea with a girl giving offerings to the faeries, and one day when she is in grave danger, they show up and help her out. Or someone who appreciates and takes care of trees, is saved by tree people.
- Feeding animals, and those animals help you out in a time of turmoil
- Nature will reward you
