Russian Folktales: Reading a Diary A

 Russian Folktales are the best folktales! They are all so different from the other units and much more funny. The funniest story was The Bad Wife. Even the demons couldn't handle her! There were tales of happily ever after and some that could provoke tears. The story that would most likely be easiest and best to retell is The Leshy. In it, a young woman disappears for three years. A hunter ends up finding her at the hut of an evil magical character and returns her to her parents. They get married, and a happy ending is made. Love stories are always easy to write because they are fun to come up with. I don't much enjoy writing a sad ending. It's not satisfying. The most unique story by far is The Treasure! In this one, the bad guy dresses up as a goat to fool his victim, but when he tries to take off his costume, he realizes that it has annealed to his own skin! He was forever stuck in a goat's skin.
