Abstract	This paper, number nine in an ongoing series, is part of an interdisciplinary project on the context of reading and reading research that explores similarities and dissimilarities in the response to literature in readers from different cultures. Presented are the written responses from 137 readers in Denmark, Greenland, Great Britain, India, and Nigeria to the Greenlandic narrative, "The Barking Ones," one of the three tales used in the Folktale Project. The responses are listed as heavily edited statements, summarized and edited from readers' essays which were written (after reading the narrative) in response to six questions regarding attitudes toward the story, feelings about the story's content, and readers' understanding of the story's meaning. Section 1 presents background information; section 2 describes the essay collection procedure and the readers. Section 3 lists the readers' responses, and section 4 contains concluding remarks. In combination with the information obtained from the introspection studies described in Paper 7, the statements listed in this paper will serve for the generation of a questionnaire on the readers' experience of "The Barking Ones," to be used in the final data-collection round in the Folktale Project. Three appendixes containing the instructions to the readers, the essay questions, and the form used to report on the essay collection process are attached. (SR)
