Reading Notes over Jatakas Anthology

I really enjoyed reading all of the stories but there were two that really stuck out to me and these were the one about the Crane and the Crab as well as The Crocodile and the Monkey's Heart. For both of these stories I enjoyed how the tricksters who were able to outsmart the bigger animal were prey and they outsmarted an animal who is normally the predator. They reminded of the turtle and the hare story we're told as children. I also really liked how the Crocodile and the Monkey's Heart story ended with a poem to explain the moral of the story. I am looking forward to retelling one of these stories.

After she woke up, she went about her day like normal, she went to yoga class and then went to work. At work she started having contractions but decided they were far enough apart that she didn't need to worry. A couple hours later, her contractions started getting closer together - about 7 minutes apart - so she called her husband, Dasaratha, and they decided it was time to go to the hospital! After today they were going to be parents, they were so excited! Once her labor begun, the sky turned dark which was awfully peculiar since it was only 3:00 pm so it should've been totally bright outside and in that moment and her first son was born, Bharata.
