My Lord Bag of Rice
If I were to retell this story, I could create another origin story and talk about how two groups came to hate each other, or I could make up a hate story between two groups of insects, animals, or people! I loved the way the story was told and I could imagine it very clearly while reading. I may also incorporate some of the presents in my re-tell, like the pot that always cooks something fantastic, the silk that never stops, and the bag of rice that always refills itself. I love objects like that in stories so I may make another one! An idea I had is the never-ending hair of Rapunzel; maybe the witch that took her could use that to keep her looking young (like in the actual) and then I could change the rest of the story to coincide with My Lord Bag of Rice.
The Adventures of Kintaro
This story was really interesting because it reminded me of a Hindi movie called Krrish. In it, a man has extreme strength and intelligence. He can do just about anything! His mom keeps him sheltered for fear that someone will try to take advantage of him and make him use his strength in violent ways instead of helpful ones. I could write a story in which these two stories are combined into one! Maybe the disguised woodcutter could be an evil person, instead of a great general, and he could turn Kintaro evil or something (or at least try to).
