Reading: More Jatakas B

THE ELEPHANT AND THE DOG:

A dog used to go into the stable where the king kept the elephant
The dog was going there to eat food left by the elephant 
The elephant began to share his food with the dog, and they would eat together
A farmer saw the dog, and asked the elephant keeper if he could buy the dog
The elephant keeper needed money, so he sold the dog
The elephant was sad now because he missed his friend
The elephant refused to eat, and the king asked where the dog was.
The dog then ran back to the elephant.
