The Crab and the Crane

Phineas operates the crab crane, Wikipedia
  • There is a place that is going through a draught and it is affecting all of the animals, including the fish in the pond.
  • A crane offers to fly the fish to a deeper pond that is deep in the woods.
  • The fish are skeptical, and accuse the crane of wanting to eat them. So, the crane offers to take one of the fishes that is trustworthy to the deep pond and then bring him back to prove to the other fish that his offer is honest.
  • So the crane took a fish to the new pond and it was everything that the crane had promised. So when he returned, all of the other fish wanted to go.
  • So, the crane proceeded with this plan to eat all of the fish.
  • Then, after all of the fish had been eaten, a crab remained in the pond. He asked the crane if he could be carried to this new pond.
  • The crab insisted on being able to hold the crane by the neck, which the crane eventually agreed to. The crane then brought the crab to the very spot that he had eaten all of the fish and then told the crab that he was going to eat him to. So, the crab pinched his head off.

Introduction to a future who-knows-what

My name is Taylor Blackwell, and this is my introduction post. I am a Religious Studies major in my last semester. One of the coolest things about my major is that it is a unique way of learning about people. I am not religious myself, but religion tends to be the thing that determines how people live their lives. It can determine how people act, dress, talk, who they interact with, how they raise their children (how many children they have), how they spend their money, how they vote, the list goes on and on. So, for me, learning about religion is a different way of learning about people and how they operate. The best class I took last semester was my Capstone class. Our project was to write our own gospel and it was a lot of fun. I took a creative approach to my gospel and it was the first time that I have ever had to write creatively; everything before that was just academic writing so it was a great experience. During most school breaks I don’t do anything very exciting, b

Week 7 Story: King Yudhisthira's Horse

Image
Horse O' War: King Yudhisthira's Horse leading Arjuna into Battle The story that I am about to tell you is one that has yet to be told in its original context. By now you are well aware of the story of the moon-white horse with a plate of gold strapped to its head. You know, the one that the army of Arjuna followed for a year, conquering rajah after rajah? Well, there are several very important aspects of that story that all but a very few are unaware of.  For starters, it may seem that the horse had very little to do with the many victories that Arjuna experienced, for I am just a simple horse, wandering around the land. That is where you are wrong.  But, it is not your fault as the reader, it is more my fault for keeping such a low profile in this story for so many centuries. Who am I, you might be asking? Well, let me tell you. I am Skanda, the firstborn son of Shiva, and the god of war, and during these particular events told in The Mahabharata I was stru
