Post 2: The Three Wishes by Ricardo E. Alegria

The tales all seem very interesting, however the second tale stood out to me greater than the other tales. It wasn't like the other two in the sense of it actually being "made up". The other two tales could of had some truth to it, considering it involved real life interactions. This tale involved an inanimate small ant, who couldn't communicate its feelings to the world, however it showed existence of god nevertheless. It can be inferred, who ever created the tale believed that god is the answer to everything regardless of the situation or species. Folktales created without truth to it, display a greater moral ending then those with some truth to it in my mind. It shows the imagination of ones mind in a certain time period, and its relation to the development of their culture's history in the sense of religion, education and moral, greater than the moral endings of the other two tales in which some may disagree. The first tale with Juan, was a bit confusing. I was confused in the sense of what exactly the moral was. The last tale seemed like something I already heard previously, being the most probable reasons why the second tale of the ant in search of her leg was the most interesting to me
