When I was a kid, I was fond of reading fairytales. I had an entire bookshelf of fairytale collection and various educational books. I am a slow reader not because I have low comprehension skills but rather because I would like to visualize what the book was describing and often imagine an entire scene for a few seconds with all its magic. I would completely immerse myself into the story that I temporarily escape from reality. Up until now, it will take me ages to finish a novel but for novels that were adapted into movies, I have better imagination on what is happening. A series of novels that I have read are The Lord of the Rings: A Hobbit’s Tale, Harry Potter Series and the Twilight Series. I recently read and watched the novel The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. However, it never occurred to me to write my own version of a fairytale. Well my eldest daughter did and man it was a blast. At the age of six (an age when I was barely able to count from one to ten and hardly read even a letter from the alphabet), she was able to create her own short fairytale and getting the most of the grammar correct. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
you have a precious and precocious daughter. I hope she’ll be able to nurture this talent with your help, of course. maybe you could try asking her what happens to the mouse and what happens if she doesn’t get her royal dresses.
but if the mouse transforms into a handsome prince, i certainly wouldn’t mind having him as a pet. hehehe. (wag lang kaamoy ng daga)
thanks for dropping by teacher kaye! precocius, i like this term. minsan tingin ko mas precocious ung second daugther ko kasi mas magaling sya magpalusot sa ate nya.
hayaan mo, i’ll to ask the questions next time.
haha! teacher talaga ha. mommy rin kasi ako at may mga maliliit akong piglets. dalawa sila and I am just waiting for that time when they’d start making their own stories. for now, i’ll be content with listening to them sing nursery rhymes.
magaling ata talaga ang mga mas bata…kasi alam nilang mas bata kaya pinagbibigyan sila palagi ng mas nakatatanda. hehehe
your kid is wonderful. nakakatuwa tlga
very smart.
