Reading Notes: Mr. Fox and the Deceitful Frogs

Mr. Fox and the Deceitful Frogs


Turtle mocks Brer Fox from down in the water.

 

Turtle says, “I-doom-er-ker-kum-mer-ker!
I-doom-er-ker-kum-mer-ker! 
I-doom-er-ker-kum mer-ker!”

 

Which translates to Terrapin talk. Turtle kept reapeating, “I-doom-er-ker-kum-mer-ker!” as he lays in the bottom of the pond. Yappin’ at Brer Fox in the bubbles. “I-doom-er-ker-kum-mer-ker!, I-doom-er-ker-kum-mer-ker!,” says Turtle. 

 

Brer Fox remains silent, he does not reply to Turtle. 

 

Sitting on the bank was Brer Bull-Frog. He heard Brer Terrapin and started to holler back: 
Jug-er-rum-kum-dum! 
Jug-er-rum-kum-dum!

Brer Frog hollered back and said: 
Knee-deep! 
He repeats: Knee-deep!

Old Brer Bull-Frog hollers back:
Don't-you-ber-lieve-'im! 
Don't-you-ber-lieve-'im!

Brer Terrapin comes up from the bubbles:
I-doom-er-ker-kum- mer-ker!

Next, Brer Frog sings out: 
Wade in! 
Wade in!

Old Brer Bull-Frog uses his hoarse voice and hollers: 
There-you'll-find-your-brother!
There-you'll-find-your-brother!

 

Brer Fox looked across the bank and noticed another Fox looking at him out of the water.

 

Brer Fox tried to shake hands, and he fell heels over head. 

 

Brer Terrapin bubble out:
I-doom-er-ker-kum-mer-ker!

Brer Fox didn’t drown. He managed to get himself out. However, if there was more and Mud Turtle came for him. He would have been dead.

I love going to the beach with my family. We always go on a spring break trip together, it has been a family tradition since I was a little girl. I love to hangout with my friends and family, workout, go on walks, and to cook. I also enjoy skiing and swimming at the beach. My favorite type of music is country, but I also love pop, rock, and hiphop. I chose to attend OU because I knew I wanted to attend a traditional university with a strong alumni presence and a large greek system.

Week 7 Story: The Miraculous Mirror

Image
Once upon a time, there was a sun goddess, whom was high of the heavens named  Amaterasu. She was known to sit in the middle of the night weaving a web of Doom. In which, this web of Doom was so big and symbolized the characteristics of joy and dismay. Amaterasu's weaving lead to Izanagi's daughter showing up. She was known for her Lotus-pure blossoms of Love with the flame of a rapturous star. She began to spin and interweave colors that represented important things to her, like life or war.  Thunder and lightening began falling from the sky. The angels were bowling. The Hall of the Gods were sending a message from heaven.  Suddenly, the demon of fire appeared in the mist of the ran. He was called, the Dragon of Hell. Amaterasu was frightened, she left her spinning and weaving. She raged at her brother in fear.  People prayed for a sign of heaven. They knew they needed more good in this world than the devil showing itself through fire and wind. They prayed for the Sun-Goddess
