Reading Notes: Jewish Fairy Tales, Part A

From Shepard-Boy to King was interesting in the fact that an unknown voice had called out his name and told him that he would be ruler of the land. David in this story seems like a very level headed guy, who really appreciates the world itself and every living thing. He was confused on why this voice called his name but realized that there was not anyone around. The fact that he is also clueless at the same time is great though. When he climbs the so called hill and finds out that it is a giant unicorn surprised me. The detail within the story is great. I could see the images in my mind because the detail painted the picture in my head. The ending was a little abrupt but it was part of the story so it worked out just fine. Showing how the unicorn bowed to the lion who was smaller showed respect, but when David became king because the deer saved his life. A big point on this subject would be the fact that it was all out of luck that David was chosen to be king.
