Francesca, age 10

Responds to the Russian folk tale Baba Yaga:

Why did the gates, the servant girl, the big dog, and the thin black cat help Natasha escape?
Francesca: The servant girl, the big dog and the thin black cat helped her because she gave them better food than Baba Yaga had ever given them.

Why did Natasha's small gifts mean so much?
Francesca: The gifts meant so much because in all the years that they had worked for Baba Yaga, she had never given them any gifts.

Comments?
Francesca: I think that the story was very enjoyable to read.
