I really enjoyed this unit. The stories were a bit dramatic
but that is what I liked about them. One thing I was curious about was the names
of the characters. A lot of the names were not traditional names but instead descriptive
words such as Passion, Beautiful, and Lovely. I wonder why the author of these
stories decided to do that. Maybe the names were changed once the stories were
translated into English.
This story was by far my favorite of the Twenty-Two Goblins
unit. Even though I probably should have seen it coming, I was surprised when
the smaller footprints belonged to the Queen and the larger footprints belonged
to the Queen’s daughter. Although it made for a good plot twist, I still think
that the King’s son should have married the princess and the King should have
married the Queen despite their initial agreement about the King’s son marring
the woman with the smaller footprints. The riddle was fun to try to figure out
and I was a little disappointed when the King didn’t have an answer for the
Goblin. I wish that they would have told us the answer instead of just leaving
the riddle unsolved. I tried to solve the riddle myself but it was a hard one.
Princess=Prince’s stepmother/stepsister & Queen’s
daughter/mother-in-law
King= Queen’s son-in-law/father-in-law & Prince’s
father/step brother-in-law
Queen= King’s daughter-in-law/mother-in-law….
I got confused and gave up.
