Mine is definitely a Trickster folk-tale. 100% of the way. In the story the kids creates humor by answering the teacher with The Buddha saying he has never seen him before when the teacher says he sees him every time he takes a nap, but the Student later finds out that the teacher is lying.
When i read this story i chuckled at the end because the teacher was caught up in his own lie, and the student outsmarted the teacher. The teacher was the more powerful character in the folk tale and the smaller character out maneuvered him. This is an excellent folk-tale on teaching a lesson to never lie. I'm rewriting it with the same exact line because i want to keep the moral lesson with the story.
Missing a paragraph. You should have another paragraph discussing how you are rewriting your pastiche and in what folk tale format.
