Reading notes, extra credit, week 2

The Turtle and the King I like stories like this where the main character gets what he wants by outsmarting his opponent. I could probably write something like this, but I don't think I would be able to add on to it so much.
The Crocodile and the Monkeys Heart- I liked that the monkey out-witted the crocodile, but the end where the crocodile just left sad felt a little open ended to me. I feel like it could be added on to. The monkey could have gotten revenge I think. I did like the little poem that the monkey told to the crocodile at the end.
Goblin City- This one felt closest to a fairytale. The language used and the mythical creatures. I could not really find a moral to the story though. I guess that "there is no such thing as a free lunch", or "don't believe everything you see" would be close, but those are not as profound I suppose as I am used to. I'm trying to figure out what I would write or add onto, and while I liked this story, I don't think it is so much my style.
