Week 13 Reading Notes Part B: Celtic Fairy Tales

A prince named Llewelyn had a dog named Gellert.  One day the prince called all the dogs at his place and all came except Gellert.  He goes on the hunt without him.  When he comes back, Gellert's mouth has a bunch of blood on it, and the prince fears that his new baby might have gotten eater.  He runs to the nursery to find the cradle filled with blood.  In a panic, he looks everywhere but can't find the child.  Convinced of wrongdoing, the prince kills Gellert.  But in Gellert's final breaths, he hears his child crying under the cradle, alive, with a dead wolf next to him.  He feels terrible.  RIP Gellert.

This was SO SAD oh my god.  I can't believe this horrible sad ending!  I haven't written a sad story before and this story inspires me to do just that!  I really liked it and it was well made even though it was terrible and sad!
