Reading Notes: Twenty Jataka Tales, Part B

In the notes below you will find my reading notes from part B of Twenty Jataka Tales by Noor Inayat. 


The Two Pigs 
A little round old lady walked by a field where 2 little pigs were hiding. The old lady picked up the pigs and told them she was going to become their mother. The old lady loved them like her own children. Men were drunk in the village and at all of their food and then wanted more food so they went to the old lady so they could get her pigs. The old lady said no. The men got the old lady very drunk so she would become disoriented. The pigs realized something was off and began to get scared. The pigs noticed there were a lot of men around and they had ropes. The pigs realized that the men wanted their flesh to eat. 

The Great Elephant 
In a sandy desert there lived a great elephant in a small oasis. The elephant had plenty of fruit and water and he was very happy. One day he heard something strange. He heard the voices of angry men and decided to see what it was all about and go to where the voices were coming from. The elephant asked the travelers where they had come from. The men needed water and food so the elephant pointed them in the direction of a hill where he said they would find water and an elephant to eat as food. The elephant ran to the hill and jumped of the cliff sacrificing himself. The men ate the elephant with tears in their eyes. They were sad but thankful for what the elephant did for them. The men never forgot what the elephant did for them.

Introduction to a PR Student

Hi, my name is Chelsea Journee and I am from The Woodlands, Texas. The Woodlands is about 30 minutes north of Houston, Texas. My family and I have lived in the same house my entire life so it was a big change for me when I decided to go to college in a different state. I am currently a first semester senior (by hours) at OU. I am studying public relations and my minor is general business. On campus I am pretty involved. I am in a social sorority, I am an account manager for Lindsey + Asp (OU's student-run PR and ad agency) and I am also the treasurer for PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America). (Personal Photo: My sorority family) (Personal Photo: PRSSA executive leadership outside of Gaylord Hall) I enjoy lounging around with my dogs while watching Netflix in my free-time. My dog's names are Jasper and Snickers. Jasper is a miniature dashchund that loves to lay in anyone's lap and we don't really know what Snickers is because we rescued her...

Kunti was left with a child from the sun god. Kunti knew that the child was destined for greatness. She placed the child in a basket and put it in the river.
