Reading Notes The Crocodile in the River

The Crocodile in the River by Vanarinda Jatakas https://sites.google.com/view/jatakas/crocodile?authuser=0

The story is about a man who is reincarnated as a monkey where he lived on an island where he grew fruit. The monkey would leap to a rock in the middle of the river and eat fruit from the trees until he would have to go back home. Also in that river lived a male and female crocodile who saw the monkey-eating fruit on the rock. The female crocodile was hungry for the monkey's heart and asked the male if he could go bring it to her. The crocodile one day then decided to go out and hide under the rock. The monkey came out and saw that the rock was higher than usual and decided to call out to the rock. The crocodile answered and said he came to eat the monkey. The monkey said up your mouth and I will jump in your mouth knowing the crocodile has to close his eyes to eat. The Crocodile opens his mouth and the monkey jumps on it and runs across the bank.

Introduction to Carver's life

Hi, I'm Carver Ramey and I am currently a junior here at OU. My major is Finance and I would say the coolest part of my major is I got to go study abroad last summer and take a finance and accounting class. The best class I took last semester would be Philosophy because I was able to work ahead and complete the course two weeks before it was due. After I graduate from OU I want to go to work somewhere in the real estate field. This summer I have an internship at a commercial real estate firm in Dallas which I am very excited about. If for some reason I don't enjoy real estate I will probably try and go to law school after graduating from OU. My favorite hobby of mine is skiing. I usually go skiing once or twice a year and I have been doing that for the past 15 years whether it's with my parents or a group of friends. To make sure I keep this streak up every summer I work and save up so I can afford to go. This winter break I went to Crested Butte with a couple of my friend...

Week 2 Story

The rich man and the robber Once upon a time a very rich man lived isolated in the mountains where he spent his time hiking to the peak of the mountain every afternoon to watch the sunset. After the sun sets he then proceeds to go home and stay there until the next sunset. while the rich man lives on top of the mountain a couple of poor people lived down on the base. The two poor people heard about the old man and decided they were fed up with the lifestyle they were living and decided that they deserved a break. The couple planned to rob the old man on his way back from watching the sunset. On their way up the mountain, they noticed the old man was moving at a very slow pace when he was walking down. They decided to hide behind a tree to attempt to surprise him so that he would not expect the robbery. The tree had many fallen branches and sticks laying all around it, and it was sitting at the edge of the mountainside near the end of the path the old man was walking. A stick suddenly...
