@his-instrument No, I didnāt know. I look forward to it. š I love How to Train Your Dragon 1 & 2.
Well, it might be a bit of a long wait. My Mum reads through my stories when they are done, and she has a rather long list to go through with King Wilfred the Hero on the bottom. š- Rank: Eccentric Mentor

@his-instrument haha no I have not read that story. š Iāll have to look into it.
@winter-rose the author is Dorothy Sayers. You might be able to find it online. I found it in a collection of short stories. Okay, while Iām on the topic of short stories I have to ask: has anybody read āThe Ransom of Red Chiefā by O. Henry? Itās probably my favorite short story of all time.

Find me at hisinstrumentblog.wordpress.com@his-instrument, I enjoyed Random of Redchief! However, I didnāt care for the other OāHenry stories, with the exception of The Last Leaf. I like Rudyard Kiplingās short stories the best. ?
@his-instrument I have! Itās one of my favorites, too.
The Last Leaf was good. I like that O. Henry always has a twist in his stories, but none of the others stand out to me. I liked Rudyard Kiplingās Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, but I donāt think Iāve read any of his other short stories. Are there any that you recommend? @jess @sarah-hoven

Find me at hisinstrumentblog.wordpress.com@his-instrument, My favorite was āThe Beginning of Armadillosā for Rudyard Kipling. It poke fun at evolution, and itās a fun read. (I tried to insert a link, weāll see how it goes! )

Have you read The Jungle Book? I read the abridged version when I was younger, but I really want to read the original (itās on my list but Iām working on Les Mis right now and that will take a while. š ) I grew up on Disneyās animated Jungle Book and Iād love to read the novel.

Find me at hisinstrumentblog.wordpress.com@his-instrument, No not yet. That book is on my āsomedayā list! š I watched Les Mis, and had no desire to read the book! (Iām not one for sad stories. :)) I believe āThe Jungle Bookā was a collection of stories, with Mowgli being the main character in most of them. I used to love the animated Jungle Book! Even now, the song āThe Bare Necessitiesā runs through my head! Have you seen the new one? I havenāt yetā¦
@julia-r
Write a story about a PRINCESS who turns into a frog and she needs to get a PRINCE to kiss her to turn back into a person. I donāt know if thatās a good dare or not, but you like Disney, and thatās the best I could do. š@julia-r, write about the protagonist who doesnāt want to be the hero. Or vice-versa. The villain didnāt want to be the antagonist, but he doesnāt know how to stop.
@his-instrument and @jess You were talking about the Jungle Book. Iāve seen the acted out one. It is 100 times better than the animated one. (That might be because I didnāt like the animated movieā¦.) š I like acted out movies the best. (Get ready to jump if/when you watch it)
