What an interesting, insightful, yet weird story to use for an introduction. I enjoyed reading it and Ganesha was by far my most favorite character. For this story, I had to write down and look up each name, in order to comprehend the story better and make it flow easier, as so many characters can be quite confusing. I wonder what would have happened if Ganesha's pen did in fact stop writing? What would have happened?
I can change the story where:
*The pen did stop writing, because the ink ran up.
*Vyasa planted magic beans to grow a beanstalk in order to get to the giants and ask them for their assistance in writing the story
*Vyasa had to find someone before midnight to write the story, otherwise something awful will happen
I am inspired to write my story and look forward to the outcome thereof!
