Reading Notes: Jakatas
Monkey and the Crocodile
I remember reading this near the beginning of the semester. The story is slightly different from the first time I read it though. The deceit that the monkey uses could be good for some plot developments in my stories.
How the Turtle Saved His Own Life
This one I remember as well. I liked the deceit the turtle used in this one. Very similar to the Monkey and The Crocodile.
The Merchant of Seri
Interesting story. I think the point here is to not be so cocky? While the ending threw me off a bit, I guess the point is to do the right thing no matter what. Endings don't need to be extravagant.
The Turtle Who Couldn't Stop Talking
Definitely remember this one as well. The turtle just needed to keep his mouth shut, but because he couldn't, he ended up dying.
The Ox Who Won The Forfeit
Pretty simple story. The ox's owner treated the ox poorly and lost a bet because of it. After treating the ox nicely, the ox did what the owner wanted and he got his money back. The moral is to be nice.
The Sandy Road
The merchants followed a strict schedule in order to survive the desert. After almost reaching the end, they decide to throw the rules out the window and almost die as a result. I'm kinda surprised the story didn't end with all of them dying.
The Quarrel of the Quails
The Quails were working together to get out of the fowler's traps. After waiting for them to argue about something, the fowler was then able to capture them.
