Reading: Jatakas B

The Patient Buffalo:


A giant buffalo was resting under a tree
A pair of eyes poked out of the bushes and looked at the buffalo
It was a monkey who was not afraid of the buffalo
The monkey tried to irritate the buffalo to no avail
A fairy asked the buffalo why he did nothing about the monkeys constant annoyances 
The buffalo said that he should not harm the monkey for the monkey is unintelligent
The fairy thought this was nice and gave the buffalo a charm so that no one could cause him to suffer
