A story about a boy who is in love and engaged to an orphan girl from the village. The evil ruler of the land falls in love with her too and makes an offer to Laifu in exchange for Pearl. Laifu refuses and the evil ruler challenges him to various things and the winner takes the girl. Since Laifu was so selfless and saved a fish who is actually a human prince, his father gave Laifu magical sticks to break when in danger. Each stick helps him win the challenges against the ruler. He eventually gets tired of Laifu winning and tried to kidnap Pearl but the toy soldiers in the treasure chest defeated him! Laifu and Pearl lived happily ever after.
Traditional love fairy tale. Laifu is the hero and Pearl is the princess.

An acrobat distracted the fruit peddler long enough for the old man to steal a starfruit. The old man took the seed of the starfruit and planted it to watch it grow miraculously.

This was a great Chinese folk tale. A young man sets out to ask a wise man why, though he works hard, he is so poor. The moral of the story at the end is: "Helping others and doing good deeds brought him happiness and rewards."
It has a good, relatable, age appropriate moral. Again, this would be a great story during a folktale unit. It would also be great when talking about the theme or moral of a story, as it wasn't explicitly stated what the moral was.
