Reading Week 15: Jataka Part A

Cold Half of the Month

There once was two friends that lived together in a cave. One was a monkey one was a tiger. They once got into an argument about the cold. One said that it was cold in the light half the month. The other said it was cold in the dark half the month. They couldn’t establish who was correct and kept arguing about it for some time. They decided to get a third opinion on this and went and asked the Bodhistta that lived at the bottom of the hill. The Bodhistta told that whether it be dark or light it be cold because of the wind. Because the cold is brought by the wind and that both are correct. The Bodhistta told them to make up and settle this dispute amongst them.
