Persian Fairy Tales - Reading Diary B

In the second part of this unit on Persian Fairy Tales, I read more stories from Persian folklore. I really enjoyed this second unit because all the stories were interesting and really kind of random. These stories are true fairy tales that make you use a lot of imagination.

For example, the story of The Shepherd Who Found A Treasure talks of a fly that is another person's soul! Let me explain....

There are two shepherds. One is sleeping and one is watching the flock. The one watching the flock notices a fly that lights up come from the other shepherds nose. He believes this to be the other shepherds soul. When the flock of sheep gets away he wakes up the other shepherd. He then asks the shepherd if he can hear his dream. The sleeping shepherd reveals his dream about a treasure. The shepherd knows this dream has to be true and goes to find the treasure and never has to watch sheep another day in his life.

These Persian Fairy Tales are pretty interesting!

This fly that lights up represents a man's soul!
