Reading Notes: Twenty Jataka Tales pt. i

 Golden Goose

- reminds me of a nursery rhyme I read in his class last year about a golden egg goose

- they duck helped to provide for this family

- they were content but the mom was not

- she willingly plucked out all of the gooses' feathers

- he had a charm to protect him

- if feathers were taken involuntarily they would not grow back gold

- the mother was mad and plucked all his feathers hoping they would be gold but they weren't  

- the goose fled his miserable life and they his golden feather's grew back

- concept: man gives and gives to until they are robbed for generosity then they have nothing to offer
