THE TWO PIGS
two little pigs see woman
woman takes pigs oh no
says shell be their mother, is she going to eat them?
she was nice to them
men ask for pigs she says no
omg she’s going to let them take one
pig spoke and everyone listened, no longer drunk
king takes pigs and bathes them in water ?
some powerful pigs
taught the whole land the lesson of love
THE PATIENT BUFFALO
monkey keeps trying to make buffalo mad, but buffalo doesn’t budge
fairy tells buffalo of his strength and power asks why he doesn’t kill the monkey
buffalo says he doesn’t want to punish the monkey he is small and not smart
fairy used powers to drive monkey away
cute story, but too short and don’t know what I could even do with it
THE SARABHA
sarabha is a deer
king wants to catch him, not succeeding
sarabha wants to save king after he falls in chasm while chasing to kill the deer! pretty nice deer
they make up
deer saves king, king is grateful
deer asks that no one hunts in the forest king agrees, happy ever after
i love how animals are always teaching humans lessons in these children tales, its cute and sweet and honestly relatable. obviously a talking deer would never come save and speak words to a human, but idk some how its just easy to connect with
THE GOBLIN TOWN
shipwreck
women cooked for them housed them
then turned into goblins
heard a voice saying a flying horse would save them
those who believed would be saved, those who didn’t stayed on the island
kinda a scary story with a happy ending, teaching to believe
THE GREAT ELEPHANT
beautiful elephant hears men, dying, offers to help
great elephant told them what to do but then disappeared
elephant died for them so that they would have food to eat
happy ever after
sacrifice
THE FOREST FIRE
family of quails, one baby only eats seeds
fire in woods
7th baby who only ate seeds couldn’t fly away (wings never grew)
baby is brave says don’t come this way flames you see i am alone and cannot fly
fire went other way
happy ever after
cute
THE END OF THE WORLD
hare thinking about end of world, hears fruit fall from tree runs and runs and runs because he thinks it was the world ending
all the animals of the forest believed hare and ran with him
wise lion stops them asks who saw the earth breaking, comes back to hares, lion says it must have been a fruit falling
lion took hare back to show him everything is fine
went back to hundreds of thousands of animals and all lived happily ever after
learning a lesson of not making rash decisions, not acting impulsively,
