Hi i was wondering if anyone knew this story (i may have gotten some things wrong i read it a year or two ago): a woman is having troubles with her husband and is told by a wise woman to go and gain the trust of a tiger, she goes back every day and gains the trust to go back and be told that if she can gain the trust of a tiger she can surely get along with her husband. (from what i remember)

Hi Katie!

The story you are looking for is:

"The Tiger's Whisker"

I read this story last year in 7th grade.

I asked my sister (she reads a lot) and she said that it's called The Tiger's Whisker, which is a Korean fol tale.

Hope it helped,

explanatithe story "two kinds" , revolves around a strict relationship between a mother and daughter. the mother tries very hard to make sure her daughter jing mei , is successful in life and lives up to her full potential. the story explores alot of different themes. though , there is one theme that really stands out. you cant force someone to be something that their not.

jing mei's mother was an immagrant from china. she moved to the united states to give her daughter , jing mei , a better and successful life for her. and being raised in china with their strict rules and striving to be perfect took a toll on her and her daughters relationship. she pressures her daughter to be great and perfect all the time but it gets really hard for her to live up to her mothers standards. her mother believes that jing mei can be a child prodigy and prepares her to be and act like one. furthermore , the story ends with jing mei getting everything off her chest and seeing the dissappointment in her mothers eyes as she finds out her daughter has not lived up to her full potential. and her mother has finally gained an understanding of her daughter.
