Reading Notes: More Jakatas Tales Part B
How The Monkey Saved His Troop
A king and his people found mangoes and wanted to eat all of them. The monkeys that tried to eat them too were going to be shot down by the king's archers. The Monkey King saw this and grabbed two different tree branches across a river and the rest of the monkeys went across his back. The king was impressed and took care of them for the rest of their lives.
The Hawks And Their Friends
A hawk family settled down at a lake that had a Kingfisher, a turtle, and a lion living there. The Hawks made friends with them. After hunters try to come and eat the hawks, the friends that the Hawks had made came and saved them. An important note here is that the Hawks were good neighbors and were rewarded for their effort. Maybe you can make a story out of the same premise?
The Brave Little Bowman
A small Bowman joined up with a larger guy to get hired by the king. The large guy eventually did the little bowman wrong. As an army came, the large man abandoned his post and the little Bowman took over and was heavily rewarded.
The Foolhardy Wolf
A wolf teamed up with a lion to hunt down prey. The wolf would scout out prey and tell the lion, and then they would share the feast. Eventually, the wolf got strong and wanted to kill for himself. The lion told him he was a fool, but let him try to hunt an elephant anyway. The wolf tried to hunt down the elephant but got killed anyway.
The Stolen Plow
A villager got his plow and son stolen by a trader. The trader tried to lie to him about these things, but the villager took him to court. The court ended up forcing the trader to give the villager his plow and son back. This was kind of a weird story.
The Wise Goat And The Wolf
Two wolf mates killed a bunch of goats on a hill. They attempt to lure the goat in the open so that they could eat it. The goat lied to them and told them that he would bring his hound friends to come and be friends with them. The wolves got scared and were never seen again.
Beauty And Brownie
Two children deer were told by their deer parents to hide in the hills to not be killed by hunters during harvest season. One of the deer heeded their words and didn't lose a single deer of his herd. The other forgot his parent's words and lost a whole lot of deer.
