Reading Notes... Indian Fables and Folklore
Indian Fables and Folklore
By: Shovona Devi
The Man in the Eye: They believe that the man in the eye is death and not a reflection.
The Elephant Fighting Hare: The hare challenges the leader of the elephants to a fight and he tricks him and makes it appear as though he is winning the fight. The elephants get scared and leave so then the leader runs away too because aunts crawl up his nostrils.
The Hungry Elephant:
The elephant can seem very foolish but in this story it is different. He walks into a bazar looking for food and all of the shop owners close up. One is not fast enough so the elephant asks for different items and he says he doesn't have them. Finally, the elephant gets frustrated and decides to see for himself. He finds all of the items and the shop keeper gets scared so he is able to eat everything.
