Reading Notes: Chinese Fairy Tales, Part B

The Little Hunting Dog
I want it all to be the imagination of  a little  boy who has been grounded and is stuck in his room without any toys. So he sees the insects and imaginings up a war for them to fight. The challenge will be misleading my audience into thinking its an actual battle until the end. I also want it to one of those stories where if you reread it you catch all the hits from the description of the surroundings.
-floor grassy fields of lavender
-light-the sun
- blanket-cave system
-shoes- great rocks
-piles of laundry- mountains
- book- high mesa

Retribution
I would like to see the story from the water carries point of view. Like when he fell down the mountain and the old man left him to die. The vague feeling of movement and becoming a newborn. Then the feeling of growing up, knowing that something was strange about you, almost like you were someone else, or like a memory just out of reach.
