Week 14 Reading: The Fisherman and his Wife

There was a fisherman who lives with his wife by the sea. He went out everyday to fish. One day, he was patiently waiting for a fish to bite the hook, and finally a flounder bit the hook. The flounder begged the fisherman to let him go. He told the fisherman that he wasn't a fish, but he was actually an enchanted prince. He told the fisherman that he wouldn't taste good, and would be useless, so he should put the fish back. 
The fisherman didn't argue, and let the fish back into the water. The flounder went back into the water, and sank to the bottom leaving a trail of blood. The fisherman went home to his wife. His wife asked how his day of fishing had been, and he told her the story. 
His wife asked if he wished for anything, and the husband said no. She said he should have wished for a bigger house, and that he should go back and make the wish.
He returned to the water, but it was very murky and he couldn't see the flounder at the bottom. He stood at the sea, and begged the flounder to come up. The flounder came up, and asked what the wife wanted. He wished for the big cottage, and his wish was granted. The husband and wife were very happy with their new house. The greedy wife got tired of the cottage and wanted the husband to wish for a castle. The husband was reluctant, and was happy with the castle, but he went and did as he was told.

Introduction- Haley Weger

Hi! I'm Haley Weger and I am a senior this year, graduating in May. I'm from a suburb of Houston, called Friendswood. My parents just bought a house on a small island near Galveston, so the next time I go home I will be living there. I am a Journalism major, on the broadcast track, with a minor in Human Relations. The best part about my major is that I am involved in our student-run newsroom through Gaylord, so I get real-life practice being on camera. I have the chance to learn all of the ropes and exactly how a real newsroom is run before I graduate! Outside of my classes and OU Nightly, I am also involved in greek life and the OU spirit program. I am starting my fourth year on the OU Pom Squad, and am also a member of Tri Delta. I also work at Ada High School on the side, teaching their pom squad. Right now my favorite TV shows I'm watching are Yellowstone and Ozark, but my all time favorites are New Girl and Friends. In the future, I would like to become a news or sport...

Week 11 Story: The Evil Fish

  The Evil Fish. Once upon a time, 12 little fish lived in a big giant pond. These fish were very very small, smaller than most perch or bait fish. The fish were all very timid, and scared of the big pond. The big pond was also a family member of theirs: their grandmother. But, the grandmother pond was not only inhabited by the 12 little fish. She also was the home to six big huge, evil garfish. These fish were mean, and they always tried to eat the little fish. They would chase the little fish and scare them. They would back them into corners of the pond, and separate them from the group of 12.  The small fish had finally had enough. They begged their grandmother river to help them. She knew this would not be an easy task, as the garfish were surprisingly clever. But, she loved her grand-fish, and would do anything to help them. She racked her brain for an idea to outsmart the garfish, and save her baby fish, and finally came up with one. She called upon the clouds above her,...
