    I can name the features of a folktale and use a picture to understand it.

    The Clever Weaver

    Long ago, a greedy king told a village by the river, "Bring me cloth so fine that I cannot see it, or pay me a sack of gold." The first weaver tried and failed. The second weaver tried and failed. The third weaver, a girl named Asha, handed the king an empty box. "Here is cloth so fine you cannot see it," she said. The king could not call it missing without breaking his own rule. He laughed, and the village kept its gold.
