Reading Notes: [Dennett's Notes on the Folklore of the Fjort, Part B]]

[SOME SPOILERS]
The Child-Pinterest
1. The Jealous Wife: Well, that was horrifying. The idea of a child murdered by the hands of a mother is truly heartbreaking. I would to bring the child back to life. The murder occurred but instead of the murderer running off with the dead child, the youngest wife comes back with a basket full of fish. The young wife sees what the other wife had done and gives the child a fish that the sea witch gave her for "her hearts desire". Having loved the child as her own she gives the child the fish bringing her back to life (the mother that murdered the child is still killed).

2. Ngoomba's Balloon: Ngoomba walks into the water to kill oneself and instead the sea heals her body of sores and she rises up beautiful and becomes Mpunia (the murderers) wife. Knowing what the sisters did to Ngoomba and kills them. This act of vengeance makes her lose her newfound beauty (sea witch tells her what is to happen if she does this and that).
Fairy-Tale Version of Girl-Pinterest
3. The Wicked Husband: Oh my god...I don't even know what to say about the beginning of the story I must change the wife's fate! The prince was told about what was happening and sets out to save her. Make it like a demented fairy-tale! The wife has to be sewn back together. Draw inspiration of AHS:Coven I just watched!
4. How Kengi Lost Her Child: No story ideas.
Magical Mirror-Pinterest
5. The Twin Brothers: The mirrors of different locations, describe locations better than in the story, also what caused them to be there. Have Nzambi be keeper of the mirrors (Ooo, good title!). She is the only person that can travel to and from unscathed do to her "charms".
6. The Younger Brother Who Knew More Than the Elders: No story ideas.
((I'm running behind on reading this week..I have plans to finish my reading tomorrow. I already picked the idea I'm going to use)).
