On 2024 I encourage you to read specific genres of literature. March 2024 theme is fable. Typical to fables is that -because they are spoken tradition- the story depends on the speaker but the basic idea stays the same.
My favorite fable is Bear Goes Fishing. It tells about a bear who wakes up too early and is very hungry. It meets a fox who has got a lot of fishes (stolen) but doesn't want to share. The fox fools the bear to go ice-fishing by his long beautiful and furry tail to get his own fishes. The bear is very patient despite it hurts and sits there all night long. The fox makes people to chase the bear so he gets frightened and pulls his tail out of the ice hole to escape. Because the tail has got frozen into the ice hole during the night it snaps and the bear looses his long tail forever. The story is very educative and has many perspectives and the result is always the same: because it happened the bear doesn't have his tail anymore and the tail is could be useful in his life.
