Summary: Proud of his skill, a young drummer ignores his father's advice and starts playing in the middle of the Forest. - Because of his size, no one will take the dwarf seriously as an archer. When he meets a giant, he has a plan! - Aushadha's wisdom wins over the king, but the other courtiers get very jealous and hatch a plot to destroy him. The Jatakas were originally written in Pali, between the 3rd century BC and the 5th century AD. They are a part of the Buddhist tradition of stories. Written with wit and compassion, they serve to expose the follies of ordinary people, like greed, and pride. They highlight the need for caution, intelligence, and honesty —and also for humour!
