Three Wishes by Ricardo E. Alegria And Juan Bobo: A Folkloric informational system by Sarai Lastra

When first reading these three tales I was surprised by the uniqueness of the morals within them. Before getting to these morals I would like to discuss how these tales, unlike the ones we have read in the past, are different because they have a hidden moral that one must search out in order to find. The first fable, Juan Bobo, the sow, and the chickens, was indeed an interesting one that caught my eye for its humor. The moral or message was unclear to me at first but after reading Juan Bobo: A Folkloric informational system  by Sarai Lastra I understood the story as a whole more clearly. The character of, Juan Bobo, at first glance seems foolish beyond compare to the point where the reader may be confused of the purpose of the story but by reading the second reading for this week I understood the purpose instantly. The moral, to me, was that someone that seems so straight up incomprehension can indeed be smart enough to have a deeper motive and understanding. The other two stories were far less complex for me. In the second tale titled The Ant in Search of Her Leg the moral was easily found unlike the other two tales. The moral of the tale was that above all the powers of the world is God and even the most insignificant creature, like an ant, is in need of God. The third tale was very confusing to me for the moral was seen but I don't know what its significance is. The last stories moral, I believe, was that one can not hide their true self for long before they are discovered and stripped of their mask. I don't know if this is the true message or if there is another (which there probably is) but what I really would like to know is what you think the moral of the story is? Do you agree with me or is there another message entirely?
