Reading Notes: Celtic fairy tales, Part B

The Tale of Ivan-

This is a fun story with one great ending. I'm a big fan of when the main characters of a story aren't mauled to pieces or killed in some gruesome way for their foolishness, but instead act rightly and are rewarded. So this story really resonates when me. I'd like to retell it maybe from maybe a modern perspective, with differing situations from the original in that the advise would pertain to the world today.
