Reading Notes: Turkish Fairy Tales Part B

The story of the Patience-Stone and Patience-Knife was very interesting. It was very frustrating that the Arab woman seemingly conned the Bey and the young maiden out of their destined marriage. However, everything worked out in the end. I could definitely see potential in revising this story. I could almost see a Cinderella spin being put on it to where one of the evil step sisters is able to trick Prince Charming into believing she is his true love. I think that would be very interesting! This was definitely my favorite of this unit.
