I liked story of George Washington because he told the boy to take good care of the tree but then he got a ax and went and cut down the tree but when the father he asked he was honest and said I was the one that cut it down. I think the boy misunderstood but when the fathers like my tree has been cut down these few days the boy is like I'm sorry but I cut it down.
ReplyDeleteLilia Tokadzhyan: My favorite story was the one with the two evil sisters. I think that explained honesty the most because it shows hows people can lie easily and they think they can get away with it, but they will get caught eventually. But the little sister spoke the truth and she got what she deserved and as for the other two sisters got what they deserved.
ReplyDeleteI found the story of Morninglight and her two evil sisters to be the most important story beause it helped me understand about honesty the most. The most honest part was when Morninglight admitted that she really couldn't see the "shadow" guy. I think that honesty is the best policy.
ReplyDeleteI liked the story of Morninglight and the two evil sisters because it explained the most of honesty.When the two evil sisters cut off her hair, she noticed the bracelets they were wearing and told on them. I also liked how Moringlight was honest when she couldn't see Strongwind.
ReplyDeleteI like the story Of morning light and how her evil sisters cut off her hair and burned her face thinking that strong wind wanted a beautiful person to marry, but he only wanted a person who was honest about not seeing him.
ReplyDeleteI liked the story about George Washington. Though he did something shameful, by not listening to his dad about the tree and not taking care of it, he was honest about cutting down the tree and he was not punished for his honesty. This shows that when you are honest not only are you respected but you will be trusted in the future.

ReplyDeleteI liked the story about the princess and the frog. It made me think that many people in the world can trick you. The princess had promised the frog that she would take the frog home with her, if he gave the golden ball to her. The princess did not redeem her promise, afterall, all she wanted was her toy. Therefore; if you are honest many people would trust you. A promise is a promise and should be delivered.
ReplyDeleteI really liked all the stories, but if I had to choose one it would be the Morning Light and her two Evil Sisters because it helped me understand the meaning of honesty. In the story her two evil sisters cut her hair and burned her face thinking Strongwind wanted to marry a girl on her appearance, but he really wanted a girl that was honest. When they asked each sister, if they saw Strongwind in the sky, the honest sister came out, which was Morning Light.
ReplyDeleteI liked the morning light and two evil sisters because it helped me see that honesty is important and if your not honest you get in trouble and will look stupid when you're in trouble. I liked it because they asked each and every person if they see strong wind and what he looks like and everyone was dishonest and just lied so they could get married but, the last person told the truth and said that she can't see him but then he revealed himself and she said she can see him.
ReplyDeleteI liked the story of Morning Light the most out of all the stories. It showed how much people lie to have something their way. All the girls lied and Morning lights two sisters cut her hair to make her look ugly in front of Strong Wind. But what the sisters did not know was that Strong Wind was looking for a honest person.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite story was Morning Light, because it was very interesting and explained to me that you will see things differently with honesty and your views will be good. It taught me to be truthful and with that may come consequenses but you will never live with guilt.
