A long time ago, there were a lot of men living but far away, there was a woman. One young man traveled to the south where the woman was and married her. The son of the headsman started to travel to the home of the woman and heard the man talking to himself. He waited until everyone was asleep. The son of the headsman crept into the house and began to drag the woman away. The husband woke up and ran to get the woman and caught her by her feet. The two men pulled on the woman and eventually pulled her into two. The son of the headsman carried the body back north and used wood to carve to make each woman complete. Meaning, there were now two women.
The woman in the south was a good dancer, but she could not do fine needlework in sewing the furs because her hands were now wooden. The woman in the north was a poor dancer because her feet were wooden but could sew very well. All the women north are skillful with their hands but and the women in the south are good dancers still to this day.

Peyton, I wanted to look at people's reading notes because I take my notes in a super different style. I think it is interesting how you start telling the story as you are writing the notes, that must make it really easy when you go to write your story every week. I thought the story you were writing about this week was super interesting and I really liked your photo!
