Folk stories in my reading class –
what students say
“I was surprised with the end of the story. The frog is so amazing!”
“The story told me not to lose chances to marry a girl.”
“I can’t imagine life with the princess frog… This horrible story gave me shivers. I know the princess frog is a perfect girl (?) because she can do needle work, dance and cook, but she is a frog!!! OMG!!!”
“I think they are emotional people and Prince Ivan often cried. That’s too much for me. He is a man, he shouldn’t cry too much.”
“I want to read many tales like this!!”
