Week 14 Reading Diary Continued: The Knight Bambus

For the rest of the Czech chapter I decided that I liked the story about The Knight Bambus as a possibility for storytelling. I liked that the gamekeeper was trying to do everything he could, but in the end he didn’t have what it took to stick with it. It is different than the happy endings that a lot of fairytales have. For my own story I would have a man who had never had a lot of money. He decided one day that he would go out a look for a new job to better support his wife and himself. He searched and found a man who said he would interview him for a position in his company. He went in and interviewed, and the man said he would call him tomorrow about the job. Tomorrow comes and the man does not get a call, so he decides to be proactive and go back to the firm to see if he got the job. When he gets there he sees the man who interviewed him walking down the hallways and going into what looked like a large conference room. He follow him into the room to talk to him about the job.  When he arrives he sees gold filling the entire large table in the conference room. The man tells him that he is a prince, but as a punishment for stealing he must give away all of his money. He tells the man that along with this money, he must give away his company that he built form the ground up. The poor man accepts everything, but the prince tells him he must tell no one. He especially must not tell his wife, for if his wife knew surely everyone would. He accepts all of these conditions, but is so excited when he gets home that he tells his wife of everything. The money is no longer there, and neither is the building that he was supposed to inherit.
