The thing that captured my attention about this story was the picture of the huge pagoda. It is so beautiful. I can imagine that the sight from the top has got to be so amazing. I would love to go the China and go to the top of one someday and just look at the sights of China. In the picture above you can also see how beautiful the pagoda is. It's so colorful and full of life.
What was interesting about this story was the the main female character (maiden). She was captured by an ogre who was posing as a boy, and he then tried to trick her into marrying him. When she said no, the ogre locked her up at the top of a pagoda. Each day he asked her if she would marry him, and each day she said no. One day the maiden was able to alert a bird that she was locked at the top of the pagoda and the bird went to her family. Her brother then killed the ogre and saved his sister, the maiden. A lot of people probably would have given up and just married the ogre, but she stuck with her decision and found enough courage to try to get away.
