The Wild Strawberry 🍓 

Ari is on the left I am on the right

I was assigned a project for the book Wisdom Tales, which contains… Well, tales with morals/lessons. I decided to choose the tale The Wild Strawberry which is a Japanese folklore story with a man, two mice, two tigers, a vine, and a strawberry.

The moral of this story was that at the brink of death, you appreciate your final moments and everything that you’ve had. Anyways, I had decided to work with my lovely friend, Ari on this project. The picture above is us showing our presentation. We were able to choose stop motion, a comic strip, a play, and an essay sort of form. Me and Ari chose to do a play and by using a few props, we were able to be somewhat successful.

A summary of this story would be very simple. A man was running away from a tiger when he had decided to grab onto a vine which the tiger couldn’t reach him, before his hopes could be restored, another tiger was below him. Then, he noticed two mice nibbling on the vine, and in his very last moments, he noticed a strawberry. Never had he tasted such an exquisite strawberry…
