Reading Notes Part A

The Hare that Ran Away 

  • Buddha was reincarnated as a Lion in order to help his fellow animal friends 
  • There was a rabbit who lived in the forest who was afraid of everything 
  • one day she heard a slight noise that was unfamiliar to her
  • it was a fruit falling of a tree but she jumped to the conclusion that the Earth was falling in
  • The rabbit took off in a full spring thought the forest yelling that the sky is falling 
  • he first passed a group of his fellow rabbits 
  • then deer began to slide up, as well as sheep and boar and buffalo and camels and tigers, then finally elephants 
  • Enough animals have heard and believed this that Lion surely had to involve himself 
  • the lion asked the elephant who told him and he said the lion. 
  • each animal went along in a line and repeated who told them of this idea 
  • finally the lion got to the rabbit, and the rabbit admitted that he saw proof
  • the Lion took the rabbit to the spot of the noise 
  • The lion showed the rabbit where he was mistaken and proved that it was just a fruit falling from a tree 
  • the rabbit then had to go back and tell all the animals with his tail tucked between his legs

Today calls for the specialist of days.”     The little girl, so excited to fetch the magic water, hurries along for her trek with the basket. After tr...
