  5. My favorite kind of short story is legends because most of them are pretty funny and they usually don’t make sense and there weird. They are very fun to read because it tells about history I guess and it’s never real and they twist them around sometimes and that’s why I like legend books.

  8. My favorite short story is the book that I am reading it is called Leola and the three bears.
    It is just like Goldie locks and the three bears but instead of Goldie locks it is Leola. And
    Instead of porridge it is pie and the bear family goes fishing when Leola goes into the bear’s house. And Leola is hungry so she eats all of little bear’s pie because papa bears pie is too sweet and mama bears pie is to sour but little bears pie is just right. Then she needs to sit down some were so she tries papas chair and that’s to hard she tries mama bears chair it’s to soft then she tried little bears chair it was just right and that is probably my favorite part.

  16. I enjoy myths because they always engage me in wondering “I wonder what’s going to happen next!” in an exciting and fun way. Another reason why I like myths is because it is very interesting to read about some of the gods and goddesses that people from over 1,000 years ago thought caused life, death, beauty, strength, etc.

  33. My favorite short stories are fairy tales. For example my favorite short story is Goldie locks and the three bears. It’s about a girl named Goldie locks and her mom told her to go to her grandma’s house. And her mom said that she’s not aloud to take the short cut but she never listens to her. mom than she finds a little cottage so she went inside and ate all little bears porridge and sat in little bears chair and fell sleep in little bears bed and that’s how far I got in the book.
