For the second half of the unit of Turkish tales from Ignacz Kunos's Forty-Four Turkish Fairy Tales I was very intrigued by the story of the girl who got trapped on the other side of a wall, but found a way out through patience. I really liked the part of the story where she thought she was going to be freed, but then was deceived and yet she still did not give up. If I were to write a story about this particular tale I would want the young girl to get lost in the woods, instead of being trapped by some giant wall. Her mother would look for her day and night. I would want to girl to encounter a fox who would promise to lead her back to her home, but then at the last minute the fox would take a wrong turn, and lead her instead to a deeper part of the forest. The girl would foresee no chance of escaping. When she was most desperate a little sparrow would come to her, and show her the way home. It would be a long journey back. During this journey she would have a breakdown, and refuse to continue saying that the journey was hopeless. Her intentions would be to give up. As soon as she has accepted that her fate is to be lost forever, she would see her mother looking through the woods, and would run to her mother and rejoice with her! After they have finished embracing, the sparrow would reveal to them that they are not far from an uninhabited castle, and they would happily spend the rest of their lives in this beautiful palace made of marble.
