When reading this I really enjoyed the flow of the story. When I say that I mean I enjoyed how a conflict would rise and then the solution followed simultaneously. The pattern allowed for the final sequence to be expected for the outcome, yet one might think it would be different to end the story. However, the author does a good job as to sticking to the moral of the story. I think that in my stories that I sometimes try to over complicate it and change up the flow of the stories in order to make them more interesting. This isn't a problem always, but I think that sometimes I should just accept the fact that the reason of telling the story is more important than the dramatic effect. In thinking about how I could apply this to a story of my own, I was thinking about possibly having kids on a play ground who were each good at something. This could be a sport or just social skills but they would have to defend against a bully of some nature. This is just an idea to make it relatable but I think it could make for a good story. I could also possibly just change up the animals in to making them more domestic because I feel the animals do a great job of adding imagery. One thing I liked about this story was how quickly the idea of friendship was made important. I think that by highlighting a message early on in a story it allows the reader to focus on what the author wants them to through out the story. Overall, I thought this was a well written story and that I could possibly use it for a story I might write on my own.
