Click the PBS: Africa for Kids link http://pbskids.org/africa/tale/index.html and read the Swahili folktale about PRINCE SADAKA. To find his brothers, he has to complete three tests and YOU can help him.
When you are done, return to the blog and reflect on the WHAG activity by answering the following questions: 1. Did you pass all three tests? Explain. 2. Does this story remind you of any other folktales/myths/legends you have heard or read? Explain. 3. Think of a time when you had to ask someone for help. Did that person ever return the favor? Explain.
1. Yes, I passed all three tests but I had to really think about the second and third tests. 2. This story reminds me of "Baba Yaga" - a Russian folktale. Especially the help provided to the protagonist by nature. 3. I try to help others as often as possible. Usually, those individuals will return the favor however some do not. Sometimes I find it difficult to help people who will not help me.
ReplyDeleteYes, I passed all three test. I found the last question the hardest but in the end I got them all. It reminds me of Joseph and the technicolor dream coat. It reminds me of that because Joseph "disappears"and his brothers come and find him. I help people when when I see that there is something that I can do,I try to help whenever I can. I help my mom all the time with yard work and dishes and she always helps me with my homework in return.
ReplyDeleteI passed all three tests and I thought they were easy. This story doesn't remind me of any other story. I had to ask for help from my family and friends but they never returned the favor. I think they will some day.
ReplyDeleteNo i passed two out of three test. Test number two i had to really think about it.I really don't have a story that reminds me of this story.I asked Kyra for help and yes Kyra did return the favor
ReplyDeleteI only passed one question. No it does not because i don't really care about myths, folktales, and legends that much. When I needed help on homework also how to figure out a puzzle,and to figure out were my class room's were also when i needed to know how to play sports. Also to learn how to play games.
ReplyDeleteYes, i passed all three tests the first one easy but the last two were kinda hard. I try and help my family members and friends all the time, like i help my mom do the laundry and help clean, she almost always returns the favor.
ReplyDeleteYes, I had passed all three tests. No this does not remind me of anything I have read or heard of.I help many people, I clean around the house and do the dishes and in return my dad and mom will take me places and help me out with my homework and other stuff.
ReplyDelete1 Yes I past all tests 2 it reminds me of Tarzan where you do all kinds of tests 3 i try helping poeple even when they don't want it
ReplyDeleteI missed one of test i answered one of the questions wrong. It doesn't remind me of anything at the moment but i have probably heard of a story kind of like that. My family and friends always do things for me and i do favors back.

I only passed 2 out of the three tests. No, it doesn't remind me of any story.Yes they did return the favor.
ReplyDeleteYes i passed all three test and I thought that the third question was the hardest but i got them all right. I can't think of anything that is like this? I had to help my dad and his job because hes starting to have problems really bad and my dads has almost died three times in two weeks and my dad doesn't want me to go but i choose to take the risk and in return he just wants me to do good
ReplyDelete1.No, I only passed 2 out of the 3 tests and I thought the hardest question was the last one, but got it right(: 2. The stories didn't really remind me of any passed stories i've read. I thought it was very unique. 3. I help people almost everyday and as often as i can. And usually they help me in return maybe not as much as I helped them but I still appetite getting help in return.
ReplyDeleteYes, I passed all 3 tests. It doesn't remind me of any other story I've heard before. I usually try to help people whenever I can,mostly with advice, and they sometimes return the favor.
ReplyDeleteI only passed to i was a little confused. It doesn't remind me of any other story. It depends on the favor usually.
ReplyDelete1.I passed all three test
ReplyDelete2.I have never read story like this one.
3.My sister always use to help me with my home work.
I passed all three of the questions. I had one question during the tests and the last island you go on what are dijms? I did have trouble answering the last question, because i did not make any seance how an animal could help you dance with a girl.
ReplyDeleteI did pass all three test, but I have never heard a story like this. I have had to ask someone for help and I returned the favor. I had to help them with their homework so it wasn't too hard. Jacob out.
ReplyDeleteYes I got all three right, I found the second the hardest 2 No, I have never heard or read any books related 3 I helped clean my brothers room and in return he helped clean mine, because his room is messy and he never cleans it when he is told to so I have to help
ReplyDeleteI passed all three test I found the last to be the easiest but it was not really hard. I do almost every thing for my family so I am like price Sadaka.
ReplyDeletei only passed two out of the three test because i missed the first question,no this dose not remind me of anything iv ever heard before i like do give my own advice to my friends when ever i can.i think this was a very fun game.
ReplyDeleteI passed all three test, I found easier when you went on.
ReplyDeleteI liked the story but it is kind of weird at some parts i did pass all of the tests... i liked this story ....bye
ReplyDeleteYes, I passed all three test. It did remind me of some story but I can remember the name of it. My mom helps me when I don't get some thing!
ReplyDeleteI didn't pass any of the tests, I thought they were hard. This story doesn't remind me of any other stories. I have my sister help me with the dishes. I return the favor.
ReplyDeleteI passed all three tests and found it very easy. The story does not remind me of anything.When I help others they usually help me when I need help.
ReplyDeleteI passed every test. It wasn't that hard. It got easier as I went along.
ReplyDeleteI pass the first two but I didn't know what to do for the last one so I kind of just picked one that sound like it could work. Yes it dose but I can't think of what story it reminds me of. I cant remember if they did or not. I don't know how I don't remember if they did or not I just don't.
ReplyDeleteI passed The last two questions because i didn't know what to do. I haven't heard of any stories like this.
ReplyDeleteThis was a very strange story, but I guess I did OK. I got very confused though. I guessed on most of the questions. I got it right anyway because I'm AWESOME LIKE THAT.
ReplyDeleteI didn't pass all the test only the first 1. I didn't do to good.I didn't really remind me of any other story or folktales. It was different but I liked it it. Yes My friends at my old house would help me out every day with things like home work and chores.
ReplyDeleteI passed all three test I just remembered what all the animals and other people said. No it does not remind me of any other fairy tails. I remember when I had to ask a friend for help.
ReplyDeleteNo i missed the first one. No because i do not read many folk tales.ya one time some one asked me for help and they gave me five dallors.
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't pass all three tests, I passed the first one but not the last two. I thought the last one was the hardest. It doesn't really remind me of any other stories I've heard of, maybe a little bit of the Story of the father and the son in the Bible, because the children go away, but eventually come back. Sometimes I have to ask my mom for help with my homework, or my volleyball coach for help with my serves or skills. Usually they help me, most of the time I try my hardest to figure it out myself, then after I am positive I can't figure it out, then I ask for help. Usually I help my younger sister with her homework, or my mom or dad with dinner.
ReplyDeleteno I did not ask for help
ReplyDeleteno I have never hard a stoys like this
i've oley ask my sister
I past only one out of all three of the tests... It does kind of remind me of Pandoras Box because the hope fairy helped the girl and the crickets and birds and stuff helped the guy. Yes my dad has helped me with homework many of times when i asked him to help me!!!(:
ReplyDeleteThe part where I had to guess which one the guy did was fun but it was kind of hard.
ReplyDeleteYes, I passed all three tests.
ReplyDeleteIt kind of reminds me of Three Billy Goats Gruff.
I helped my cousin with her homework and she did return the favor. GOODBYE.
I passed all three test I found all the test easy
ReplyDeleteI sometime am price Sadaka because I sometime do all the work in the time like cook and other stuff.
1. I passed all three tests but the second one was the hardest in my opinion. 2. It doesn't remind me of any stories that I have read. 3. Yes I have and they did return the favor.
ReplyDeleteI passed all three tests. It didn't remind me of anything that i could remember. I helped Bobby Vanderlind with his basketball shot and he showed me how to make a marvin the martian on black ops.
ReplyDeleteI passed all the test. I thought they were very easy once you read the story.
ReplyDelete1. I passed all three of the tasks because they were really easy.
ReplyDelete2. I cant think of any other folk tales or myths that are like this but there probably are.
3. And yes i have done a favor for someone and they have returned it.
well I had trouble with some of the tests but I did pass them all. yeah I agree with Tristin that it was like the three billy goats gruff. I sometimes need help with homework and i help my family with chores.
ReplyDeleteNo. I didn't pass any of the tests. I thought they were trick questions. I couldn't really figure out if it was the bird, cricket, or the ghost things.
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't really remind me of any story that I have heard. Yes, the person did return the favor
I got two out of the three right. I thought the last one was the hardest and that is the one I got wrong. This story doesn't remind me of any other story. I helped one of my friends and yes they did return my favor when I need help also.
ReplyDelete1.I did pass the test! 2.Yes i reminds me of the Three Billy Goats Gruff because the goats had to cross the bridge to go eat and Sadaka had to take 3 test to free his brothers. 3.I had to ask teachers for help because I was confused and they anwsered me.
ReplyDeleteI passed all three tests, but the third one was pretty hard. I haven't heard any other stories like this one. Yes, they returned the favor.
ReplyDeleteNo I only got 2 out of 3 on the test.I guess I need to pay attention about what crickets do and the other creatures. This story reminds me of the 5 china men were brothers and they had abilities and one was going to be killed so he traded with his brother and it just goes on and on. I ask people all the time to help me on things and i almost always help them back.
ReplyDeleteI past 2 of the 3 tests.No it does not remind me of a diffrent story. I did not ask any one for help.
ReplyDeleteI passes 2 out of the three tests, i thought the 1st one was the hardest.
ReplyDeleteI past all three tests. I found it easy to answer these questions. The third one was definitely the hardest though. This story reminds me a little bit of Rumpelstiltskin because she had to guess his name. It also reminds me of the Princess and the pea because only one girl had passed the test out of many. Then she got to married the prince. Most people return the favor when I help them.
ReplyDeleteI passed all three tests. The first one was easy, but the second two took more thought. It reminded me of Cinderella :) She always fed the birds, so when she needed their help sorting the ash, they helped her. I always ask my dad to cut pork chops for me because I'm not strong and I look really awkward when I try :) I repay him by helping him with crosswords. :)
ReplyDeleteI passes 2 out if the three tests,I thought the !st one was the hardest.
ReplyDeleteI passed all three test, I thought that they were easy. It didn't remind me of any stories. When people help me I try to help them also.
ReplyDeleteI passed the three tests without any wrong and without any help.
ReplyDeleteThis story reminds me of The Princess of the Pea; I don't know why it just does.
Yes and they did; but i have helped someone and they didn't return the favor but that was my brother so I really couldn't expect it from him!
This was hard, I did not pass any of the tests. I didn't get any help
ReplyDelete1. I did the second time, The 4th answer to the last question seemed right.
ReplyDelete2. No.
3. I dunno.
I passed all three tests. Not really but it sounds familiar. I always help my grandma get out of the car and help buckle up because she is a great grandma.
ReplyDeleteI only passed 1 test the test was a little hard. Yes it reminds me of Achilles when I had to write about him in LA. I ask for help on my math from my sister Lucy because I don't always understand math. Yes I sometimes help Lucy when she needs help.
ReplyDeleteI only passed the first test. I didn't understand how a spirit could cut a tree down.
ReplyDeleteThe Karate Kid because the boy had to take many test to get better.
I help a kid at Linn Mar open his locker but he would not help me with his homework.
1.I didn't do so good on the tests, and I thought the last two were the hardest.

3.I help my parents with the work around the house because they're busy with college and work.
1. I passed all the tests. the 1st and 3rd were easy, but the 2nd was tricky.
ReplyDelete2. This reminds me of Heracles and the 10 labors.
3. I helped my brother with homework, but he never returned the favor.
Sometimes I help people with advice and such. I don't normally get help.
ReplyDeleteI didn't pass any of the test. The story didn't sound like something i have read before. I have asked someone for help and they returned the favor, I don't think I completed the test because the three tests were kinda hard to me.
ReplyDelete1.yes i did pass all three test but one it was the first one.
ReplyDelete2.no the story did not remind me of somebody.
3.yes i have had to ask some one for help.yes they did help me back
I liked the story but i only got 1 right.
ReplyDeleteI passed two tests.
ReplyDelete1.I didn't pass any of the questions.I thought they were pretty hard questions.
ReplyDelete2.No it didn't sound like anyone's that i heard of before it was kinda weird.
3.I've asked some people questions and yes i return the favor by helping them when they need it or being there for them when they need someone.
yes I passed all three tests and I thought they were easy.No the folktale did not remind me of any other story that I have read.When I need help my friends and family is always there for me and they always return the favor.
ReplyDelete1. No I failed all the test. 2. Yes it reminds me of some stories in the bible but I don't know exactly what they are. 3. Yes because they helped me with the same problem.
ReplyDeleteI passed the 2nd and 3rd tests. I don't know very many myths and folktales but it reminded me of Baba Yaga and how she had to do certain things to keep from getting stopped on her escape. I help my brother sometimes (mostly homework). He almost always repays the favor.
ReplyDelete1.I passed two and i missed one 2.no the story didnt remind of anybody 3.I helped my friend and yes they did return a favor and it was very nice of them
ReplyDelete2. it reminds me of jason and the golden fleece
ReplyDelete3.I had to ask some people but got right.
yes,i got all three tests right,but the last question was the hardest. The story does remind me of one but i forgot what it is called. Yes, I helped my little sister and she said she would help me clean up supper but she did not help at all!
ReplyDeleteI did pass all three test. It was very easy.It reminded me of something else we learned. I think it was Jason and the golden fleece. He had to complete all these task to get the crown. I had somebody help me. They did return the favor.
ReplyDeleteI didn't pass any of the tests.I thought that they weren't to hard.No it did not remind me of any other stories, I don't know very many stories.Yes Noah Nissen helps me with my math when i get stuck.Yes i have helped him with science before.
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't pass the 1 and 2, but got the third. I thought that it was just a matter of remembering what you read. It reminds of the Jason and the Golden Fleece. One time I asked my sister to switch days with the dog with me and she did! Well, I had basketball that night and then religion so she did it for me and I did it on her day.
ReplyDeletei passed all of the tests it was fun because it challenged me to think of what his friend's ability's were.
ReplyDeletei don't remember exactly which one it was but one of the Russian stories from lab.
i cant think of a time i had to ask for help but i am sure i returned the favor somehow.
1. I didn't pass all three tests. I passed one and missed the other two.
ReplyDelete2. It does remind me of other stories but I can't remember them.
3. I did ask someone a favor before. I forgot my lunch card one day and they gave me some of theirs and I returned it by giving them some of my lunch when they forgot theirs.
I passed all three tests I just had to think of the three helpers that would help out.
ReplyDeleteNo I only passed 1 test I though that they where hard to understand. No it did not remind me of any other story because it had birds and other creatures in the story. I have asked my mom for help on homework Because I thought it was hard.
ReplyDelete1.Yes, because I read through the story really really slowly, and saw that somewhere in the story it told you what ones to pick for the questions. 2.It doesn't remind me of any folktales/myths/legends, at least that I can think of rite now, because I can't think of any stories that have a person who has to look for something and they have to take a test so that they can get someone to help them find it. 3.Yes that person did return the favor, because I asked them for help, and then like a month later they asked me for help with their homework and I helped them a little bit.
ReplyDeleteI passed the last two tests I was a little confused for the first test.It reminded me of jason and the golden fliece because he got help and had tests. I ask some of my friends for help all the time I try to return the favor.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the story and got all 3 right. I don't really think it reminds me of any stories off the top of my head but it will probably after a while! I help people and SOME return the favor but others don't (maybe it would help if i would start returning favors more)
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't pass all 3 tests I passed 0. It reminds me of Baba Yaga because in this story and that story they get help from people.I ask Emma for help all the time when I don't understand things she explains them to me.
ReplyDeleteI only passed the 2nd test because I think it was the easiest one. It didn't remind me of any myths or legends because I really don't know any myths or legends. People normally return my favors if I want them to
ReplyDeleteI did not pass all three test I only passed tow.
ReplyDeleteThis dose not remind me of any folks tales.
Yes I have asked someone for help and they did help me.
I did pass all three test because i remember some things about the story. no because i don't know a lot of stories. I needed help washing the dishes so my sister helped me then when she needed help washing the dishes i helped her.
ReplyDeleteI passed all the tests. It kind of reminded me of Cinderella because at the end there was a ball and he had to find a certain girl and they got married in the end. No, it didn't make me think of a time i asked some one for help.
ReplyDeleteI past all three test I thought it was a good way to learn. I have heard the story Cinderella because of the cricket and how it related to how the shoe fit Cinderella (glass slipper). My friend helped me to soder when I didn't know how.
ReplyDelete1- yes i pasted all three test without missing one because I came remember a lot of books that I have read before.2- No not really but if I thought about it for a long time I could think of something.3- I have asked people for help when my bike was messed up and they helped me and when I helped someone they wanted to give me money.
