Reading Diary Week 9: Tejas Legends

Tejas Legends

Part A

When the Storm God Rides
I liked this story.  I like how it tells how hurricanes got their name and why.  I also like how it explained how Texas was formed and how it protects all of the birds.

How the North Wind Lost His Hair
I like how this story not only explains the origin of Spanish moss but also the seasons.

The Plant That Grows in Trees
This was a cute little story.  I was surprised the bird was so nice haha.

The Cloud That Was Lost
This was pretty sad; that poor little cloud.  The flowers are a bit selfish for drinking up the cloud until there was nothing left.

Part B

Why Hummingbirds Drink Only Dew
This kind of reminded me of the Tortoise and the Hare, but the hummingbird isn't as smug as the hare.

The Maiden Who Loved a Star
This is probably my favorite story for this section.  This was so cute but also kind of dark for a children's tale.  I'm really glad the witch didn't kill the girl.
