This story can teach students that it is important to work together and understand you can't do everything by yourself!

“The spirit obeyed and then departed, for there was nothing more he could do.“

This story gives the message that we may wish that we can change and be something else, but the grass isn't always greener on the other side. He keeps changing into something “more powerful“ but ends up feeling less powerful than who he started as.

This Japanese Folk-Tale written by Gerald McDermott follows Tasaku who began the story as a stone cutter. He then wishes to become more powerful and the spirits grant his wishes each time. But each time he wants something more and doesn't end up happy in the end. The illustrations are very abstract, made of shapes which I enjoyed looking at and interpreting them my own way. It looks as though shapes were cut out the pasted on top of each other.
