- Abstract
- en_US This reader from a series we do not have yet at all in the collection includes three Jataka Tales, introduced on 157. "The Clever Monkey" (158) offers five good colored illustrations for the story of the crocodile wanting a monkey heart. "Bunny Cotton-Tail's Plan" (165) is the familiar KD story of regulated sacrifice. It includes an unusual illustration of the lion diving into the well (174). "King Jackal" (202) is a somewhat strange tale of a jackal finding a hat and wearing it as a crown and demanding obedience from animals as they pass by his place on the road. Even the lion, seeing the hat but not the jackal, runs away in fear. The lizard puts the jackal off and even declares that the jackal is no king. Caught by the tail, the lizard asks to go down his hole so that he can come back and worship on his knees. The jackal stupidly gives in -- and that is the last that the jackal sees of the lizard. "No king I see" is the lizard's enduring response.
