Folk Tale

This week I read a folk tale story called The Empty Pot. A folk tale is a story that has been told for generations and has a moral or a lesson in it.

The Empty Pot story is about telling the truth and being honest. Ping was in a contest to win to be the Emperor. The Emperor gave the kids a cooked seed but they cheated and brought a plant, except Ping. Ping had tried growing his plant for so long he didn't have a plant to show the Emperor. Ping told the Emperor that his seed wasn't growing and then the Emperor told all the kids that he actually cooked the seeds, just to see if the kids would be honest because they needed an honest Emperor.  He became the Emperor because he was honest and truthful. Then at the end the boy came the Emperor.

    Ka pai Nevaeh. You have retold this story well. Do you think that you would have been as honest and brave as Ping? Mrs Hastie
