Three Fish
There as a lack of communication in this story. had the three fish worked together, they could have all followed the first fish safely our through the outlet. With one fish dead and the other two separated, they will likely no longer live in peace and happiness. Rather, they will all probably live alone for the rest of their fish lives. That's pretty sad. The story ended pretty abruptly, though. I would like to hear more about the fishes past together. Were they brothers? Were they best friends? Or did they have a distaste for each other deep down. Why didn't they let each other in on their plans?
The Blind Man and the Snake
The blind man has some trust issues! He knew that this new whip was softer, but not so soft because the snake was frozen stiff. This story ended very abruptly. I wish there was a background on the relationship between the two men. Why was the blind man so hesitant to trust him? Do they have a bad history? The other man seemed like he valued their friendship. He even begged for the blind man to let go. Usually, in stories like these, the blind man is wise. Because he has no sight, he has the ability to use his other senses at a more heightened extent. He should have been able to tell when he touched the snake, especially when his friend warned him.
The Hen and the Falcon
I don't know if it's because Hens remind me of thanksgiving or what, but I can't imagine a hen being a symbol for ungratefulness or treachery. I see his perspective though, but the Hen is scared for her life! Surely he has to understand that. I wish the story showed the falcon's response though when the Hen explained how she saw her fellow hens roasting, getting eaten, etc.
