Indian Fables and Folklore
By: Shovona Devi
The Logical Pupil:
The teacher sends the pupil to find a cat so that he can eat all of the mice. The pupil comes back with a Brahmin because he thinks that he fits the description of a cat.
The Wishing Pitcher:
The man was so poor and he often had nothing to eat. One day a fairy came and told him that he could come with him and he would never be hungry. The man served as the waiter for a long time. One day he asked the fairy to go back home and the fairy let him go and he was allowed to take the magic pitcher with him. One day the man got drunk and dropped the pitcher which shattered to pieces.
The Battle of the Birds and the Sea:
The birds say that they are not scared of the sea so the sea takes away their eggs. The bird goes to get all of the other bird species to come fight a war with the sea. They are unsuccessful until they get the king bird and he brings the chakra to dry up the sea. The sea gets scared and returns the eggs.
