I am really happy with my little duckling. It reminded me of Hans Christian Andersen’s tale of “The Ugly Duckling”. I have always loved fairy tales and folk tales and remember back in elementary school checking out compilations of stories from around the world. I loved that while life may not have been fair for some of the characters, their circumstances would often change for the better, or at least by the end, they would reap the consequences of their actions, good or bad. One of my favorites was Toads and Diamonds. Click here if you’d like to read: https://fairytalez.com/toads-and-diamonds/ The daughter who treats a stranger with kindness is rewarded and the one who treats a stranger with rudeness is punished.

A quick search led me to an amazing page on Wikipedia that has a HUGE list of fairy tales, folk tales, and fables. Many of them have links to the actual stories. I could spend a great deal of time here….and may do that when I have a bit more time on my hands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fairy_tales

Wishing you all a terrific Tuesday!
