Extra Reading Diary: Lang's European Fairytales II
This week I read from the Lang's European Fairy Tales II unit. In it, my favorite story was the two parts of the Seven Headed Serpent. These tell the story of a king and his people who arrive on an island, only to discover that it is ruled by a king of its own, a Seven Headed Serpent. This serpent promises to leave them alone so long as they pay homage to him every year. This required ten youths and ten maidens every single year. When they've finally had enough, the people learn how to kill the snake, and the King's son ultimately sneaks into his lair and kills him, freeing the land.
