Source: Walking Child If I just adjust myself a bit here and here, then I can walk a little bit. The young child was off in a corner slowly pushing their self of the couch. They had young toddler had finally gotten to where they were balanced and just teetering back in forth trying to gauge how much weight to put on their feet. While the young toddler was so focused on figuring out how to walk, they didn’t notice their parents in the background silently cheering. “Ben come here! Look! Be Quiet!”, the mother exclaimed excitedly. The mother had been waiting for forever to see her first born walk. She was so excited she could barely contain it. She rushed to grab her phone and record the toddler’s first steps. She knew that the child was right around the corner to walk. The toddler had been slowly pulling their self-up for weeks and standing alone when they got the chance. Then there it was caught on camera the first few steps.

I think the wise merchant story would be a nice one to work with. I am not sure how I would flip it for the story but I do think that it gives an element maybe making siblings and the "demon" be the parents and going from there. The girly-face story was interesting I think it might be a good story to retell but use the Santa Claus having a young child really excited for Christmas but then overhear some talking about how he isn't real and have him act out for a bit and get the parents to have Santa Claus send him a letter and then he is back to normal.

I kind of liked the crocodile and monkey story I don’t know if there is enough move around in the story for my mind to work with. I need a more vague story unless I changed the setting altogether. I am not a trickster at heart so coming up with a way to make this story my own would be a serious challenge for me. Which I guess would force me to broaden my creative ability. I think the turtle story is also a little straightforward. I am not sure how I could flip this story. I wouldn’t even know where to place this story what elements I would add for a personal touch to the story. So far reading these stories and coming up with a story that I would be happy with and make my own will be a challenge. The merchant story it reminds me of how in the beauty and the beast the man turned away the beggar and it turned out to be an enchantress. I think this would be a great way to retell the story of the greedy merchant and the golden bowl. Then adding an element to the story were the cur...
