The Spirit that Lived in
a Tree
Characters:
·
Tree Spirit (Budda)
·
King
·
Woodmen
Setting: The
woods and the Kings palace
Plot: The tree
was supposed to be cut down in order to make room for the King’s Palace. The
people of the community loved the tree and would worship it. It had stood for
sixty thousand years. The tree spirit convinced the king that he wanted to be
cut one branch at a time. When the king heard this remark he decided the tree
could stay and it would be the only thing he would build his castle around.
My favorite character was the woodmen because they did not
cut the tree down at once. I felt like they were waiting and hoping the King
would change his mind because they were so passionate about the tree spirit.
The Parrot that Fed
His Parents
Characters:
·
Parrot
·
Brahmin
·
Watchman
Setting:
Rice field
Plot: Buddha was
reborn was a parrot that was quick and strong. He led the other parrots to a
rice field to eat each day. The watchman wanted to trap the parrot and stop him
from stealing rice. He captured him and none of the other parrots would come
help him. The watchman brought him to Brahmin who heard his story and was very
touched. He then decided to free him and let him have as much rice as he
needed.
I like this story the best from this unit. I thought it was
very human of the other parrots to leave their king parrot behind and save their
own life.
