Taylor's Myths

I enjoyed reading this  Jatakas Tale . I did not know that these tales were Middle Eastern stories. That is pretty cool.  This story was about envy. I think that the moral was great because the Ox was looking at the pig wondering why they get all the good food when they are lazy and they don't do any hard work on the farm. Unlike the pigs, the Ox works hard and has to eat straw grass. However, the pig was just being fattened up so they could feast. I think this story was well written and I would not change the story line. I am thinking about replacing the characters definitely. This would be a great story to incorporate in my Spongebob theme.  The Ox who Envied

The Jatakas Tale that I chose is the Monkey and the Crocodile. The story was great and I think the moral of the dstory was good as well. The moral of the story is " There are bigger fool in this world. Don't underestimate yourself" The crocodile had to find a way to get a monkeys heart to give to his wife. The monkey told the crocodile that he left his heart and the crocodile believed him. At the end the monkey used the crocodile to get across the river. The monkey fooled him! I think this would be a great story to start off with my spongebob theme. I could have someone trick spongebob but have spongebob trick him even better! I think I am going to keep the story line the same.  Monkey and the Crocodil e
