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’.
