I went through a few different sections of stories to find one I really enjoyed but My Lord Bag of Rice was the first to catch my attention. I liked the idea of all the different types of characters. It was different than animals and humans but it was like a fairy tale with dragons and giant centipedes, supernatural creatures that may not actually be real. I like that the story is also based under water - it does not have to be a 'real' setting. This story used dancing fish and all types of colors to make your imagination go wild. I loved the ending when the presents he accepted were very useful and not just all rags and riches. He was still a common working man but became prosperous. It has been one of my favorites to date.
