Week 7 Reading Diary:Why Dog and Cat are Enemies

For week 7, I did my reading over the Chinese fairy tales unit. I really enjoyed reading this unit. One of the episodes that I liked is called “Why Dog and Cat are Enemies” and it is a very short and sweet story. It talks about a cat and a dog they were friends and decided to help their owners to get back the luck ring after they sold it, but the cat was so selfish and gets the reward to herself and kept the dog without anything. While I was reading through the story I was wondering if I can change the story to make the cat and dog friends until the end of the story and they can do more adventures together and be friends instead of enemies.
