Week 10 Reading Diary Continued: Fables of Bidpai

This week I will be reading The Tortoise and the Geese and Other Fables of Bidpai by Maude Dutton. Link. This post will cover Part B.

The Partridge and the Hawk, from Yesterday's Classics

• The Rustic and the Nightingale had a funny ending, there didn't seem to be a moral but rather an actual pot of gold at the end. 
• The Partridge and the Hawk also confuses me, there doesn't seem to be any point to the story. 
• A dragon has appeared. Despite these stories having talking animals there are usually not fantasy elements like dragons. 
• Kidnapping a mans son for revenge and holding him ransom does not seem like the moral thing to do. 
• Another story about being content with your own possessions and position in life. They are really harping on this. 
• I like the story about the two princes, it was very effective in getting it's message through. 
• Another story is taking place in the middle east, this time Baghdad. 
• The Lion and the Hare reminds me of Baka and the village. But, Baka wasn't a fool like the lion who was easily tricked. 

Thanks for reading!
