The Tale of the Three Brothers

"And then Death asked the third and youngest brother what he would like. The youngest brother was the humblest and also the wisest of the brothers, and he did not trust Death. So he asked for something that would enable him to go forth from that place without being followed by Death. And Death, most unwillingly, handed over his own Cloak of Invisibility. Then Death stood aside and allowed the three brothers to continue on their way, and they did so, talking with wonder of the adventure they had had, and admiring Death's gifts. in due course the brothers separated, each for his own destination."


I enjoyed this tale, because I find it interesting how much imagination the author, J.K, Rowling has. Laying in bed reading this, I just couldn't put this book down. It catches my interest, because one, it's by J.K, Rolwing, but also because, I find stories like this one, interesting. My mom, grimacing at this story when it was told in the last Harry Potter film, did not find it interesting. I don't know why it strikes ME as interesting, but I believe that's just how it goes sometimes.

  1. Some analysis of why it has these different effects on different readers would be interesting....
