The Story of a Buffalo & Naughty Monkey ~ Jatak Tales In English
Once upon a time there lived a wild buffalo in the forest of Himwant. Muddy, black and smelly. But he was a polite buffalo. A mischievous monkey also used to live in the same forest. He used to take great pleasure in doing mischief. But more than that he used to enjoy teasing and troubling others. So naturally he used to trouble the buffalo as well. Sometimes he would jump on her in her sleep; Sometimes he would stop him from grazing, sometimes he would jump down holding his horns and sometimes he would ride on him with a stick like Yamraj. In Indian mythological traditions, Yamraj's ride is said to be a buffalo.
A Yaksha lived on a tree in the same forest. He didn't like Bandan's flirting at all. He motivated the buffalo many times to punish the monkey as he was also strong and strong. But the buffalo believed that it was not modesty to hurt any creature; And hurting others is also a blocker of true happiness. He also believed that no living being can be free from his actions. One always gets the fruits of one's actions. Therefore, the monkey will also get the result of his bad deeds one day. And one day it happened while that buffalo went to some other forest far away while grazing grass. Coincidentally, on the same day another buffalo came to graze in place of the first buffalo. That's why the jumping monkey also reached there. The monkey didn't see it. As before, he did the same audacity to climb on the other buffalo. But the other buffalo could not tolerate the monkey's mischief and immediately threw it on the ground, inserted its horns into its chest and trampled it with its feet. In just a moment, the monkey's life flew away.
The conclusion of the story is that violence and mistreating others will eventually lead to consequences. The buffalo was a symbol of peace and understanding, showing that kindness and forbearance is a better path to follow. The monkey, on the other hand, represented the opposite, and its actions resulted in its death. The story shows the importance of treating others with respect and compassion.
