Week 11 Reading Notes: More Jataka Tales pt. ii

- Prince Wicked was actually very wicked
- seems like everyone wanted this man dead
- his servants plotted to leave him in the lake swimming because there was a storm that they hoped he would drown in 
- guess he was bad enough to murder
- they all pretended that the prince had left them behind and come home early when asked where he was
- they for sure are playing dumb
- he sat on a log as he sped down the river with a rat, a snake, and a parrot 
- another man heard the prince's cries and was determined to save him
- the prince began to hate the man that saved his life because he cared for the animals weakest to strongest before the prince
- the prince lied in his thankfulness to the man
- he became prince shortly after he was saved
- the poor man went around doing house calls to check up on everyone that he had saved including the prince
- the prince thought he was going to ask for the money so the prince wanted him dead before that
- he was beaten but the truth came out about the wicked prince
- he became king instead and the rat, parrot, and snaked ruled beside him 
- i definitely thought that the prince would change his ways but man was i wrong about that one
- i hate that man lol
