Story-Telling: A tiger in mom's clothing
I am excited that our group is so ethnically diverse. We are using that diversity to our advantage and choosing to do our project on a story based on a Korean Folk tale. I love hearing about new stories from different cultures because they so often can relate to stories we have in America.
In this particular story, we believe there are four main character: A mother, two children, and a tiger. A tiger eats the mother and tries to fool the children by dressing up in the mothers clothing. (This is very reminiscent of the story of Little Red Ridding Hood, where the wolf eats the grandmother, than proceeds to dress up in her night gown) The children catch on that the tiger is NOT in fact the mother, so they thought it wise to trick the tiger. The children coaxed the tiger outside. The children quickly climbed up a tree so that the tiger couldn't reach them. The tiger was tricked once again as the children told him that they used an ax to get up the tree. The tiger, not being very smart, used the ax to try to climb up the tree. Of course, the tree started to fall. Just at the tree was about to fall, the mother, who was now in heaven, through down a rope and saved the children. The tree feel on the evil tiger, leading to his death. The children then became the sun and the moon in the sky.
We are planning on using this story as a basis for our "movie." We choose to tell a story because we feel that all of our disciplines are used to tell stories.
