It is said that this story was narrated by Sri Buddha.
It happens in a wild forest. Many
animals and birds live there peacefully. When I say peacefully, the wild world
is always ruled by jungle laws. Still life there is comfortable.
There comes the summer. Birds and
animals fear summer. Summer is hot and dry. Dry means, it has no rain and
moist. It draws up water from their rivers and lakes. Usually they do not feel
short of food, but water is scarce in summer.
It is dangerous to go for water in some
areas of the forest. They are afraid of wild animals stronger than them and men
with weapons. They know that men are not stronger than them, but their weapons
are deadly. That’s why animals and wild birds attack men from the back. It is
the law of their existence. When it came to existence, anything is wild law.
