Extra Credit Reading Notes, The Mouse and The Farmer

  Bibliography: W. H. D. Rouse, The Mouse and The Farmer

-This mouse made a hole where there was thousands of golden sovereigns buried in the ground.

-A farmer who owned land where the treasure was but did not know about it but the mouse did. The farmer always saw the mouse but never hurt the mouse because he was a kind farmer. When the farmer was having dinner, he would throw the mouse some cheese. 

-The mouse tried to show the farmer he was appreciative of him so everyday, he would bring the farmer a golden sovereign and the farmer would throw him so meat to eat. He started doing this for weeks and got very big. 

-The farmer had a black cat but could never see the mice because he was always so small. One day the cat pounced on the mouse ready to eat him because he was so fat. 

-The cat and mouse spoke words back and forth. They agreed that the mouse would bring the cat the meat the farmer would give him everyday. If he missed one day, the cat would eat him. 

-The farmer noticed and talked with the mousie. He decided it would be best for him to put a piece of glass over the hole that the mouse could come up to and sit in to eat his meat. One day the cat grew angry because he wasn't getting the meat he was promised. 

-The cat decided to eat the mouse, but he didn't realize there was glass over him. He just saw the mousie through the glass. At last, the cat ate it all and finally died but the mouse crawled out of what was called an inkstand, the glass, and went back into his hole.

-He finally lived his life in happiness, back to normal not having to worry about the cat.

Logan's Introduction

 Hello fellow classmates, My name is Logan Biggs and I was born in Dallas, Texas on February 3rd, 1998. I have lived in Frisco, Texas since I was in 8th grade, but has always lived in the great state of Texas. I grew up playing soccer since I was 10 and I actually attended Midwestern State University my freshman year on a soccer scholarship. I got hurt, but, short story, ended up here at The University of Oklahoma and my time here has been great. This is my 3rd year here and I am majoring in Finance. Money and math has always been a passion of mine since I can remember. Something cool about my major is that, sometimes, depending what you do, you get to be a strategist for other companies and take care of the financial decisions they choose to make. The best class I took last semester was Business Finance. In my opinion, this was my favorite class because this is what I am majoring in and I really enjoy doing financial problems. My favorite type of movies are comedy and action movies. M

The Talking Turtle and The Kings Boys Week 4 Story

 Once upon a time, there was a king who had a lake for his boys to play in. He told the boys that he had gotten fishes in there for them to see and mess around with. While the boys we're at the lake, they saw something very suspicious and out of the ordinary. The suspicious animal was a Turtle, but they had never seen one before. The boys run back to the King and the men inside and yell that there is something in the water, they referred it to as a demon and that the demon was out to get them. The King forced men to go out to the lake to catch this, out of ordinary, species. When the men brought the Turtle back, the King wanted these men to kill it because only fish were supposed to be in the water. As they went around the room and talked about killing the animal, the Turtle pokes it's head out and says, "what have I done to you humans for you guys to want to do something to hurt me and hurt my life? The lake is my safe spot and I would never do anything to hurt you guys,
