So much wisdom here in these stories Jayshree. I read your work to a little East Indian girl whose grandparents come from India, just to give her a taste of her culture.

And interesting yesterday, both you and Melissa Petrie discuss animal folklore in posts yesterday! Reinforcing each others ideas. 💖💖💖 I love those moments!

Awww. So nice to hear that - I hope she liked it though I did not think of kids when I wrote this retelling. Something for me to consider next time - a kid's version! Thanks for the link to Melissa's article, I did enjoy her take.

Again a lovely tale of the three sons and words of wisdom and a warning in the monkey and the crocodile.

Thank you for story.(s). One of many that carries weight and I have been waiting for your response. The ways are clearly told to be easily understood. Teaching by animals with six sense the humans foibles we learn to develop tolerance and see ourselves through the eyes of others. Now to be changed like the 3 brothers to lead and teach the Indian ways of contemplating human activities to create peace of mind in a world of strife.
