Week 5 Reading Diary: Jataka Tales

This weeks reading diary are shot stories come from the Jataka Tales Reading B (Babbitt).  These are ancient stories from India, the “birth tales” of the Buddha. 

The Golden Goose
-Great lesson being greedy, It was kind of the goose to give something up for their confront, do not overuse someone’s kind jester.

The Stupid Monkey
 I feel sad that the gardener only wanted to have fun for once with her friends; he would have never asked if he didn't think the monkeys were able. 

The Cunning Wolf
First thought of this story is silly,  I don't think I have ever heard of someone acting to be dead to catch a wolf. 

The Woodpecker and the Lion
This story had a really interesting twist at the end, I really enjoyed it, and didn't expect it.

The Otters and the Wolf
I like how the wolf didn’t eat the otters, which would have made me really sad.  I think it could have been interesting if the wolf asked the otters to get him a fish for some sort of favor. 

How the Monkey Saved His Troop
I can’t believe that the king  was going to shoot those monkey’s..

The Hawks and Their Friends
What a great story about friendship, but not only that but to be kind to everyone, for you never know how it could effect your life. 

The Foolhardy Wolf
This story reminded me that things happen a certain because that's just how life is.  Wolf’s never kill elephants and he should have just accepted it.

The Stolen Plow
It’s always nice to be reminded that lying is never good, and no one appreciates it.

The Lion in Bad Company

Interesting turn around making the lion need the help instead of the wolf , there at the end.

The Wise Goat and the Wolf
I always like it when the trickster gets defeated in the end! Karma is real!

Beauty and Brownie
I kind of find it funny that Beauty was the smart one and not Brownie, just because society doesn’t sometimes put beauty and brains together.

The Elephant and the Dog
What a precious story about two different types of animals that have unconditional love for each other despite their differences.
