The Two Pigs
This is actually the most ridiculous thing. The response to the pig was so extra- the whole world changed, all were moved to tears and went to find the voice that spoke, the flowers, trees, and birds all stopped to listen. He said "Bathe in the pool of water as on a bright feast-day, and you shall find a perfume that never fades away" The pool of water is love and it is also the fragrance that doesn't fade away.
The Patient Buffalo
A monkey tried to nag him but the buffalo was like "I'm bigger and the monkey has a small brain why should I punish him?" and a fairy was happy with that answer and gave him a charm so he would never suffer again.
The Sarabha
A kind beautiful deer lived far in the woods. A king tried to pursue him, fell in a chasm, and the deer helped him up and the king felt very bad that he had wanted to hunt the deer and promised that no one would hunt in the forest again.
The Goblin Town
Sort of reminds me of a terrible movie I watched once about goblins. It's a story sort of like tales of sirens, where this group of women on an island entices these men to stay, except they're actually goblins and they bind them in chains, until a magic horse comes and saves everyone that believes that the women are indeed goblins
The Great Elephant
It's so sad. The elephant sacrifices himself so that the men can make it to the next town because they're starving in the desert.
The Quarrelsome Quails
The theme of the smart leader saving his group from a hunter comes back. This time they fly together out of the net, until one time they fight, and the two that fight get caught, but the ones that avoid it stay safe.
The Forest Fire
Quails again. This small quail got rewarded for being weak (as a result of only eating seeds) by talking away a big fire.
The End of the World
This story has been retold by so many people in this class I won't
The Golden Goose
He saved two little geese that tried to race the sun, and then decided that he should race the sun, and did so successfully. Then he spoke wise words to the king who loved him, and said how time is the only thing that moves faster than he does. Which I don't entirely agree with?
The Noble Horse
7 kingdoms attacked this one place at once but the horse rode into battle to defeat all of them, but was wounded and died
