Reading Notes: More Jataka Tales, Part B

For part B I stuck with Babbitt More Jataka Tales. I enjoyed the story of The Wise Goat and The Wolf. This tale tells the story of a herd of goats that is picked off one by one by a pair of wolves. The wolves are able to kill ad eat all of the goats except for one who is wiser than the others. They try to trick her a couple times but both times the goat outsmarts them and is able to escape. I also enjoyed the story Beauty and Brownie. I found it fairly interesting because it is kind of dark and has a not-so-happy ending of Brownie's entire herd of deer being killed. I really enjoy these Jataka tales. I like how they are short and to the point and how they mostly focus on animals.
