I was excited when I saw that this story was in this unit!
When I was researching stories to use in my storybook I came across this story
but because of time and the fact that it didn’t really fit with the direction I
wanted my storybook to go in. I’m glad that I got a second chance to go back and
read this story. I noticed that this story had some similarities to one of the stories
that used in my storybook – Baba Yaga. In this story, the woman tried to get
water for the witches by carrying it in a sieve just like the little boy in the
Baba Yaga story. Both characters tried many times to carry the water but the
water kept running out. Both sets of witches told the characters to seal the
sieve with clay. I thought it was kind of interesting that in both stories,
a sieve was used to try to carry water. I wonder if there is some symbolic
reasoning behind this or do witches just enjoy watching their “victims” carry
water.
