Reading Notes "Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp"

This story is part of the Arabian Nights unit. Story source: The Arabian Nights' Entertainments by Andrew Lang and illustrated by H. J. Ford (1898).

There was once a boy named Aladdin whose father was a famed tailor. His father just passed away and Aladdin did not take up that practice. Aladdin spent his days roaming the streets and causing mischief. One day a man came to him claiming that he was Aladdin's uncle.
Aladdin took him home and his "uncle" ate at the table with Aladdin and his mother. Then he took Aladdin out on the town and bought him nice clothes and showed him a great time. This man claimed to love his deceased father, but he had been out of the country for 40+ years. Aladdin believed him and decided that his story heald validity.
Aladins uncle then took him on a journey up the mountain. Aladdin grew tired of the journey and asked to stop and turn back, his uncle grew angry and forced him to push forward. Aladdin wanted to stop but then his uncle told him that there is a treasure waiting for him at the top of this mountain. Aladdin changed his attitude when he heard the word treasure. Aladdin then realized his uncle was really a magician whom he had no relation to. The magician then spoke magic into the earth and the earth broke open. He then gave Aladdin a ring and told him to retrieve a lamp. Aladdin did as instructed but before he handed the lamp over he waited until he was safe out of the cave. The magician insisted that Aladdin hand it over before he left the cave with the treasure, Aladdin refused. The Magician then shut the tomb with Aladdin trapped inside. Aladdin was in the tomb for two days before he started praying, and when he prayed he rubbed the ring on his finger and a genie appeared from the earth exclaiming "I am the genie of the ring"

Introduction Post

Sooner Schooner taking a ride on Owen Field Link Hello class, this is my formal introduction post to tell you more about me. I guess we should start off with the basics, my name is Ryan Ard, I am a junior here at OU, and my major is Public Relations. One of my favorite things to do is to be an active Oklahoma RUF/NEK member. Through the Oklahoma RUF/NEKS I care for the school's official mascot the Sooner Schooner as well as care for and maintain Boomer and Sooner, OU's two white welsh ponies. When people ask me if I have hobbies I usually can't think of any on the spot because I am always busy fulfilling responsibilities with the club or planning for future events with the club. I guess some would say that my membership in this club has consumed my life but I think the contrary is true. This club has opened up so many opportunities for me and without my membership, I wouldn't be involved with many of the opportunities I have had. Through this orga...

Reading Notes Part B "Deaths Messengers"

Deaths Messengers One day a giant was walking along a highway when a man jumped out at him and told him to stop. The man said, "I am death, you have to listen to me." The giant denied him and told death to move out of the way. They disagreed and began to wrestle. It was a long and tough battle but the giant gained the upper hand. He defeated death and left him on the side of the road. Death laid on the road concerned with what the world would look like without him. He was concerned for the people who wouldn't die in his absence. The world would be full of people and nobody would be able to move. Then a young man walked up out of nowhere and started to assist death without knowing who he was. He let death drink from his canteen and he nursed him back to health. Death finally was able to speak to him when he said," I am death and I am extremely grateful for your help. Because of this, I promise to not kill you without warning. When your time comes I will send ...

Week 7 Story "The Boiled Bat"

Bush Rat One day the Bat and the Bush Rat were eating together in a field. They both made soup at their homes and brought it to eat with each other. The Rat asked if he could try the Bats soup and he did. The Rat exclaimed, "Wow! this soup is so good, it tastes so sweet and savory." The Rat asked the bat how in the world he made his soup so good. The Bat, knowing he could pull one over the rat, exclaimed, "You see Rat, I simply boil myself in the broth of the soup before I make it. My flesh sweetens it up." The Rat replied, "Wow, how interesting. That is something I will have to try." They both parted ways and went home. On the way home the Rat became upset. You see the rat had already asked the Bats wife how the soup was made but he had forgotten. So when he asked the bat for the recipe so he could remember and he replied with boiling himself in the broth the Rat knew he was lying. He knew that he couldn't forget something that outrageous.
