THE MICE THAT SET THE ELEPHANTS   FREE
Translated from Sanskrit by Arthur W Ryder
    1. There was once a ruined village. The mice were the old settlers there. They occupied the chinks in the floors of houses and temples with their children and grandchildren. They found happiness in a variety of festivities.

[Reads fluently and in sense groups with appropriate gestures and expression.]
    2. Into this scene came an elephant king, whose retinue numbered thousands. He, with his herd, had
started for the lake in search of water. As they marched through the mouse community, the elephants crushed the faces, eyes, heads, and necks of many.
     3. The mice held a convention. ‘We are being killed,’ they said, ‘by these lumbering elephants. Curse them! If they come this way again, there will not be mice enough for seed. Therefore, let us find an effective solution to this crisis’.
