Jataka Tales’ Reading
A:
·
I enjoy the dialogue between the
characters of The Monkey and the
Crocodile, it gives the story a great deal of substance.
·
The story of The Monkey and the Crocodile is showing that while the
crocodile was the one trying to use his wit to get the monkey’s heart, it was
the monkey who outwitted the crocodile.
·
I liked the little bit of comical relief
at the of How the Turtle Saved His Own
Life, it was used in great context after the buildup of wanting to
figure what way they were going to try and kill this “Demon” of a turtle.
·
The
Turtle Who Couldn’t Stop Talking has a
subliminal/background message of knowing when to keep your mouth shut and not
talk because it can get you into trouble or put you in danger.
· The
Ox Who Won the Forfeit, the ox is wise and hard working. The owner of
the ox acted in a different way than he normally did because he had put money
on the line, and the ox did not respond to it well. Once the owner learned of
his mistake, he went back and motivated the ox to pull the hundred wagons.
·
Foolish,
Timid Rabbit, the rabbit gets his mind into thinking
something that is not true, but is still able to convince many other animals to
join him, until the lion uses his wisdom and checks out the situation to prove
that nothing is wrong.
