Week 7 Story - The Voice in the Lake

On a gloomy afternoon, five brothers are wandering around, lost, in a forest.  Earlier that morning the brothers decided to go on a hike, but instead of walking the planned trail that was laid out for them by the forest rangers, they decided to blaze their own trail and just go wherever their sense of direction took them.  It turned out that the forest was much more vast than any of the brothers realized, and before they knew it they were very much lost.

Reading Notes - Narayan's Mahabharata, Part D

There wasn't anything else I really connected to in the rest of part C.  Deathly Hallows Story Title: The Mahabharata: A Shortened Modern Prose Version of the Indian Epic Author: R. K.
