1. The Panther
Chinese Folktale
A Mother, Two Daughters and a son
This story is familiarto big bad wolf
story but the wolf has changed to a
panther.
The Panther eats the mother and the
son. The Panther then sneaks to the
house of the two daughters. The
Panther then try to convincethe two
daughters that he is the mother.
The little girls get’s given all these
littlethings to kill the panther.
This a mixture of different fairy
stories “Little Red Riding-Hood,” “The
Wolf and the Seven Kids,” and “The
Vagabonds.”
This could be adapted to fish tale
where the story changes to the shark
tries to eat fish family and the two
2. fishes gets given gifts to help them get
rid of the sharks. (Net, Anker, Clam,
Crab).
The Dragon After His Winter Sleep
Chinese Folk Tale
Characters; The Scholar and the
Dragon
Location: A Scholars House with a
fireplace and books.
Outside area
The Moral of the story is about
respecting everything.
Its about a scholar who reads his book
and fire fly lands on his book and
burns his book. The scholar is
confused and takes the book outside
wanted to let the firefly free and it
doesn’t fly away. The Scholar goes back
to his house puts on his robes and
3. bows. “It shall not be said of me that I was
lacking in respect.” The scholar goes out
side again and the firefly transform into a
dragon and flies away. The scholar goes
back inside and looks at his books and
questions where the dragon comes from
Adaptation it is similar to the whole story
but I will change the scholar waking the
firefly then realizing to respect any
creature so he lets it free.
The Jellyfish takes a Journey
Japanese folk tale
Characters; Dragon King, Jellyfish,
Lady Dragon, Monkey.
The Story is about a happy Jellyfish goes
out on a quest by the dragon king, that
the dragon king wants him to bring him
a monkeys liver as the dragon king is
dying. So the jellyfish goes on to his
quest from dragon land and tries to
capture the monkey.
4. The jellyfish persuade the monkey,
the monkey agrees. During the jellyfish
and monkey adventure the jellyfish
accidently confess the truth. That the
king want his liver so the monkey
tricked the jellyfish. The jellyfish gets
punish in the end by the king.
This is was moral story of paying
attention to school, as the jellyfishin
this story had not minded his books at
school.
My adaptation will be for this story, expect
from finding a monkeys liver it will be a
piece of his fur so the queen can make a
soup for the king sickness as he has a belly
ache.
