Twenty Jataka: Part 2
- · Two pigs sat at the end of the road watching people walk by.
- · They saw a little old woman as round as a tree.
- · She saw the two little pigs and offered to be their mother I they go into her basket.
- · She walked with the little pigs until she got to her little home.
- · She took them out and laid with them and laughed with them.
- · She took care of these pigs as her own children for years.
- · There was a feast where all the men in the village got drunk and ate all the meat.
- · They went to the lady and asked if they can buy her pigs.
- · She refused and they argued with her.
- · They made her drink and asked her again and she gave them her less favorite one.
·
The other pig noticed that she called that pig
first and got suspicious.
·
The pig walked over and saw the men with ropes and
ran away to his brother out of fear.
·
He said to go to their mother and respond to her
call.
·
When he gave his brother sweet words the people
became sober and they dropped their weapons and ropes.
·
Everyone was moved to tears.
·
The brother was confused of his words and asked
him to clarify.
·
They were taken to the palace and treated like
royalty.
·
When the king died they went into the forest to
finish their life with joy.
·
Everyone lived happily ever after.
