Reading Notes: Jatakas

TURTLE and the GEESE

  • Setting

                 The short story shortly but descriptively tells the reader about where the story takes place.Which is near a pond at the foot of a hill.  There is no mention of a time or date, so that is left up to the reader. 

  • Plot/Characters

                The story tells about a turtle and two geese who befriend each other. The geese fly away for the evening, but the turtle would also like to join. The geese come back with a solution, but the turtle must give up something for a short time in order for the plan to work. The turtle is unable to make this happen and pays a major price. The Characters are not overly developed by word, but instead by action.
