A fish fairy
A young man went on a journey to find fear. He ran into bandits, pestered by zombies, nearly strangled by ghosts, and had to fight off a goddess of the sea so she was not to sink a ship. none of this caused him fear, not even an attempt on his life. The king hid a life bird inside the dish that the young man was about to eat, and when he opened the dish the bird flew out andstarteled him, to that, the king told him that was fear.

A fisherman caught a beautiful fish, so he dug a pound behind his house, so he could keep it and gaze upon it. The fish turned into a beautiful maiden and the fisherman wanted her hand in marriage. she agreed, but the king heard of this maiden and claimed her as his own. the king said that the fisherman could keep the maiden if he could complete an impossible task. the fisherman told the maiden this and she had it done. The king kept giving him impossible task after impossible task, until the maiden and fisherman completed them all, so the king was forced to let the fisherman marry the maiden.

basically the same story as above, but with a beautiful bird for a king and a crow who eventually turned into a maiden for the bird catcher.

I am a psych major and am a super senior at this point. I started out as a chemical engineer, but I decided along the way that that really was not the right path for me. I love people. I am very much extroverted and am happiest when I'm around others. I decided that engineering would not be a good fit due to this, for I would be forced to work a lot by myself and wouldn't get the human interaction that I need. I took a psych class in high school an

   A Guiding Spirit Link This story can now be view in my portfolio here . There was once a native American man who was tasked to go out and find food for his tribe. The tribe had recently fallen upon hard times and supplies were running scarce. Atop that, the man belongs to a small tribe and was one of few that able enough to venture out and find food for his fellow tribesmen. He made his preparations before setting out. He gathered tools to help ensure his survival. He readied his weapons for the prey that he was hoping to happen upon. Lastly, before he set out, he began to gather some basic rations for the journey ahead, but soon made the decision that he best leave it all for the tribe.   He set out in the forest, and it was not long until he was overtaken by hunger. The man scavenged as best he could, yet he was spending much greater amounts of energy then he was gaining. Nearing the end of the third day, the man hadn’t seen so much as the tracks of an animal.
